Secc’s Subsea EQD solutions empower operators with unprecedented control over scale treatment activities, particularly scale squeezes. The Subsea EQD permit enhanced efficiency and flexibility, by providing a permanent subsea connection point equipped with Emergency Quick Disconnect (EQD) capability the Hot Make Hot Break Coupling (HMHB). A true Quick Connect Disconnect Coupling (QCDC).
The installation of a permanent QCDC, HMHB on subsea production equipment reduces the equipment and deck space required on a dedicated light well intervention vessel. This can eliminate the need for a dedicated intervention vessel altogether, allowing operators to use vessels of opportunity. This approach significantly reduces project lead times, operational complexity, and associated costs, enabling scale treatments to be performed more quickly and cost-effectively.
The innovative design of Secc’s couplings, featuring a full-bore and pressure-balanced mechanism, ensures operators can pump fluids at high flow rates with minimal head loss even at extreme depths of up to 3000 meters. This robust performance is critical for addressing scale deposits efficiently, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted flow, and protecting the long-term integrity of subsea assets.
Secc’s EQD technology offers unparalleled versatility, allowing intervention programs to be executed through two primary configurations:
Secc collaborates closely with clients to continually innovate and refine solutions that enhance their ability to access and intervene in existing subsea hardware. This commitment ensures that scale treatments are carried out with maximum speed, precision, and efficiency, helping operators minimise production downtime and optimise well performance.
The Quick Connect Disconnect (QCDC) capability of the Hot Make Hot Break Coupling further streamlines operations by reducing the time required to connect, disconnect, and reconnect to the asset. This feature is particularly valuable in scenarios requiring rapid disengagement, such as adverse weather conditions or other unforeseen challenges, ensuring safety and operational continuity.
By integrating Secc’s cutting-edge coupling technology into their scale remediation and intervention strategies, operators can achieve substantial cost savings, improve asset performance, and extend the productive life of their wells, all while reducing operational risks and enhancing the overall efficiency of scale treatment programs.
