Oceaneering Installs Tree for Shell World Record Subsea Completion

Well completion hardware has been installed at a depth of 9627 fsw in the Alaminos Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico by Oceaneering’s Olympic Intervention IV. Completion of the deepwater well, part of Shell’s Perdido Development, demonstrates the light construction capabilities of Oceaneering International, Inc. Project managers planned, engineered and executed the job through all phases with a perfect safety record.

DSV Ocean Project Information

“Six Shooter” Aims for Subsea Safety

Oceaneering “Six Shooter” Accumulator Module (7,500 psi charge pressure) with panel assemblies allowing for subsea charge and operation via ROV without requiring recovery to the surface.

Oceaneering International, Inc. has tested and delivered a Subsea Accumulator Module, dubbed the “Six Shooter”. The Six Shooter is six accumulators, each with 100 gallons per bottle volume and rated for 7,500 psi stored pressure. The module is capable of supplying +100 gallons per minute of pressurized control fluid for BOP intervention operations.

The Six Shooter Subsea Accumulator Module is deployed to rest on a mudmat or parking pile. An ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) actuates standard regulated output pressures of 5,000 and/or 3,000 psi. Other regulated pressures are optional. The unit can be fully recharged subsea via an ROV or rig hotline for emergency operations and is an ideal solution for testing BOP equipment.

Each Six Shooter module is capable of delivering about 142 usable gallons of fluid at 5,000 fsw or 80 usable gallons at 10,000 fsw (7,500 psi charge, 1,500 psi MOP). Units can be “daisy chained” together to increase usable volume at depth. For further information on Oceaneering BOP equipment, control systems, or other ROV intervention equipment, contact:
