Well Intervention

Unlock optimal well performance with our field-proven expertise and services.

Industry-Leading Well Intervention Systems Backed by Expertise

Oceaneering provides a complete approach to well intervention, helping operators restore and enhance production while avoiding the high costs and downtime of rig-based operations. With a global track record and strong vessel-based execution, we address flow assurance challenges, extend well life, and maintain asset integrity through a combination of vessel, intervention systems, ROV, and tooling capabilities.

Decades of Experience, Measurable Impact, Seamless Project Execution

We simplify vendor management and reduce project complexity for operators. By integrating vessels, ROVs, equipment, engineering, and offshore teams, we provide a single point of execution. This one-team approach ensures reliable results and optimized costs.

Experience

20+ years of vessel-based well intervention expertise

Impact

15M+ barrels of customer production increased

Efficiency

Average project execution in 4-5 days offshore (hydraulic well stimulation)

Reducing Risk, Increasing Production

We understand the challenges operators face—declining output, aging infrastructure, and the rising costs of traditional interventions. These issues disrupt production and profitability while pulling rigs away from drilling programs. That’s why we offer a cost-effective alternative, deploying vessel-based systems that help sustain and increase production while reducing expenditure.

Well Stimulation

Hydraulic Stimulation

Resolve declining well production with bull-heading, clearing flow paths to boost well performance. Ensure safer and more efficient operations with our stand-alone subsea well control systems and reliable MSV-based hydraulic interventions.

Mechanical Light Well Intervention

Experience the power of deepwater well control with riserless Light Well Intervention (LWI) by combining our well control systems and associated services with precision wireline tooling to ensure reliability where it matters most.

Flowline Remediation ROV right 700

Remediation and Flow Assurance

Tackle deepwater flowline challenges with our Flowline Remediation Solution (FRS). Clear blockages, restore flow, and maximize performance using coiled tubing downlines and hydrate systems to recover lost production efficiently with minimal interruption.

Ocean Evolution Multi Service Vessel MSV

Integrated Vessels

Reduce project costs by up to 50% with our expertly crewed multi-service vessels (MSVs), equipped with ROVs, heave-compensated cranes, high-horsepower pumping, and dual open-water coiled tubing downlines, ensuring efficient mobilization and cost-effective services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Well intervention is a wide range of operations performed on existing oil and gas wells. These include gathering and logging well information, restoring or improving production by investigating anomalies, addressing blockages or restrictions, repairing or replacing components, and accessing new well zones.

Riserless interventions eliminate the need for costly rig-based operations, reducing mobilization time, costs, and environmental impact by lowering carbon footprints, all while maintaining operational efficiency.

We use hydraulic stimulation, mechanical interventions, and remediation services to assess and repair, thus alleviating issues and optimizing well productivity.

We provide well intervention services worldwide, including the Americas, West Africa, Asia Pacific, and Europe.

We operate specialized multi-service vessels, such as Ocean Evolution, Harvey Blue Seas, and Normand Superior and other vessels of opportunity (more recently the Skandi Inventor) to efficiently execute interventions.

Our integrated, One Oceaneering approach uses ROVs, vessels, and expert offshore personnel for a single service provider-led, unified solution that reduces complexity and costs compared to multi-vendor alternatives.
