Doedijns from the Netherlands has been awarded for the delivery of a major part of the Rig-less Intervention System for the BC-10 FPSO production facility by SBM Offshore Malaysia. Shell’s BC-10 Development in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil implemented a new method of subsea-separation and boosting which uses vertical caisson separators with Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP´s). In case of failure of these pumps, the existing solution is to call in a conventional drilling rig to perform the intervention operation. The Rig-less Intervention system (RIS) facilitates replacement of worn or failed caisson based artificial lift systems deployed in the BC-10 field. The entire ESP/Caisson assembly shall be recovered to the surface and landed out in an intervention facility.
