Total, acting as operator for and on behalf of a consortium presently composed of Total and Socar, has tasked HydraWell to execute a part of plug & abandonment campaign at the Absheron field in the Caspian Sea.
To execute the campaign, HydraWell will utilise its HydraHemera Perf, Wash and Cement (PWC) jetting system.
“ We have earlier supported Total elsewhere, but this is our first job in Azerbaijan. As cost reductions are still very much at the top of the oil industry agenda, it is great to work with operators to bring our Perforate, Wash and Cement® P&A methodology into new offshore regions,” says Mark Sørheim , CEO of HydraWell.
The contract value for HydraWell is undisclosed.
The Total-operated Absheron gas field, is 100 kilometres southeast of Baku and 25 kilometres northeast of the Shah Deniz gas field. LLC (50%).
So far more than 220 Hydrasystem P&A plugs have been installed worldwide on behalf of 16 operators.
