Halliburton and Shell have signed an agreement for umbilical-less tubing hanger services, using Halliburton’s ROCS technology. This innovative system has been deployed in the Gulf of America, NCS, West Africa, and GoM, achieving a record depth of 8,458ft. It improves efficiency, safety, and reduces personnel exposure.

Developed by Optime, a Halliburton service, ROCS technology streamlines well operations and enhances safety. The system recently achieved a milestone by installing a tubing hanger at a depth of 8,458ft, marking the deepest umbilical-less operation to date. This technology has been successfully implemented in various regions worldwide.

Halliburton’s ROCS technology eliminates the need for traditional hydraulic systems, reducing surface pressure risks and improving safety. The system has been utilized in the Norwegian Continental Shelf, West Africa, and the Gulf of Mexico, demonstrating significant efficiency gains and enhanced safety measures during installation procedures.

Halliburton’s agreement with Shell signifies a shift in deep-water operations towards more efficient and cost-effective methods. The ROCS technology offers speed, precision, and safety benefits, positioning it as a reliable alternative for operators globally. The system aims to enhance efficiency and safety in rig fleets worldwide.

Earlier this month, Halliburton, in collaboration with Aker BP, successfully conducted an umbilical-less tubing hanger installation on the NCS. This operation tested Halliburton’s enhanced remote operated control system and the optime tubing hanger orientation system for subsea control and completions. The partnership aims to further advance technological capabilities in offshore operations.
