Sentinel Subsea successfully deploys WellSentinel passive technology offshore Australia

(WO) – Sentinel Subsea, specialists in passive subsea integrity monitoring, announced the successful installation of WellSentinel systems for two significant projects offshore Australia.

Sentinel Subsea was selected by a major client to support the decommissioning of subsea assets in collaboration with Baker Hughes. This project successfully deployed two WellSentinel Coral systems that enable the continuous monitoring of temporary suspended wells in the remote field. The systems were installed onto two 18 ¾” wellheads from a vessel of opportunity, ensuring a streamlined operation that required no in-well intervention.

In another project, Sentinel Subsea successfully deployed two WellSentinel Coral-Frond Hybrid systems for a major client. These systems, designed to monitor two suspended wells, feature a Coral design enhanced with a Frond-type gathering structure. This enhancement allows for monitoring an area approximately 5 m external to the wellhead.

Components for both projects were manufactured locally by Scope Engineering through their ongoing collaboration, while other passive monitoring elements were shipped from Sentinel’s headquarters in Aberdeen to Australia.

Neil Gordon, CEO of Sentinel Subsea, said, "The successful installation of these two significant projects in Australia is a testament to the reliability and effectiveness of our WellSentinel systems. We are thrilled to collaborate with major clients and local partners, providing innovative monitoring solutions that ensure the safety and efficiency of subsea operations. This achievement highlights our commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology to the global energy sector."

Based in Aberdeen, Sentinel Subsea was founded in 2018 and has successfully installed WellSentinel passive monitoring solutions offshore for major and independent operators globally.
