September 13, 2022 – Houston, Texas – Oceaneering International announces that two of its solutions are finalists for two energy industry awards, the World Oil and Pipeline and Gas Journal Awards.
The Wellhead Load Relief (WLR) system has been chosen as a finalist for Best Well Integrity Technology in the World Oil Awards. WLR is a method for BOP tethering that is deployed and operated subsea, eliminating the requirement for large topside spreads. By moving all the work subsea, WLR eliminates all potential HSE issues related to topside preparations of wire/tether. Fast hook-up and removal save rig time and minimize the time the BOP is unsupported.
