Well intervention
Plugging operations are scheduled to begin early 2026.
TechnipFMC, in collaboration with Halliburton, was awarded the 2025 ICoTA Intervention Technology Award and received the 2025 Curtis Blount Outstanding Paper Award.
To enable a fully interventionless approach, a barrier-rated tubing-hanger valve has been developed to eliminate slickline intervention and minimize associated risks and operational time.
