* 2.0 KM
* 1.5 KM
* 1.0 KM
* 0.8 KM
FIELD LAYOUT - INTEGRATION OF PERMANENT MOORINGS FOR FPSO
AND TEMPORARY MOORINGS FOR WORKOVER RIG
LAYOUT MUST TAKE ACCOUNT OF :
* Dominating Weather
* Location of Platform above Field ALBA FIELD LAYOUT
* Existing Pipeline through Field
* Other Existing and Future Developments in the Area
* Support Activities (Shuttle Offloading)

WELL WORKOVER ACTIVITIES
FULL WELL WORKOVER
USING DRILLING RIG
LIGHTWEIGHT WELL WORKOVER
To date, well intervention conducted from ship-shaped vessels has, almost
exclusively, been limited to ‘light’ intervention using wireline.
Wireline provides the capability of deploying tool strings into the wellbore on wire.
These tool strings can carry out mechanical functions, carry data acquisition tooling
or undertake operations such as perforating the wellbore to increase production.
In addition, tractors can be employed as part of the
tool string providing an anchor to allow milling to
be performed restoring wellbore cross-section and
thus production.
THESE MAY USE A LIGHTWEIGHT VESSEL WITH
WIRELINE OR COILED TUBE.
