Water depth Various
Project duration 5 Year contract
Timing Commenced offshore January 2008
TSMarine have been contracted by Woodside Energy Limited
to perform a wide array of subsea well intervention activities
across all of their Australian subsea assets during the 5
year contract period. The project is serviced from TSMarine’s
regional office in Perth and is based around the provision
of the DP2 Well Intervention Classed Multi Service support
vessel, the Havila Harmony.
Additionally, given the specification of vessel (Havila Harmony)
involved and the equipment mobilised onboard, the vessel
spread is extremely versatile and capable of performing a
wide range of light construction, subsea intervention and
subsea decommissioning / abandonment activities. As such,
Woodside have extended the work scopes under the contract
and included a range of offshore activities in and around the
Well Intervention works.

Woodside Energy Limited Contract
With a great deal of preparatory work completed in 2007, the
first offshore campaign began in January 2008 and lasted for
approximately 8 months. During this first 2008 campaign a
range of offshore activities were performed in various fields
from Laminaria in the Timor Sea to Vincent and Enfield offshore
Exmouth on the North West Shelf. Some of the activities
completed were regional and world firsts for Well Intervention
from a DP Vessel and at the same time set a new world record
for wire line intervention at 397.3m water depth.
The tasks performed to date under this contract include:
• Installation of 9 Subsea Xmas trees. These trees have been
deployed, landed, locked and tested using the vessels
heave compensated crane and ROV equipped with a
fluid injection skid. The well barriers consisting of tubing
hanger plugs, deep set plugs and FIVs have been removed
/ opened using the subsea lubricator. The hanger and deep-
set plugs have been removed by slick line intervention in
water depths up to 397msw (these operations are the first
of their kind in the Asia Pacific region and the deepest wire
line interventions in the world to date.);
• Subsea pump installations;
• Flexible Riser repair operations;
• 6 subsea well abandonments. Well severance has been
performed by the “AXE” entrained grit water jet cutting
tool. (150m water depth on Echo 1 well set a new depth

record for multicasing severance using this method);
• Mud mattress installation and grouting operations; and
• Other IMR and light construction activities.
Multiple mobilisation and demobilisation activities have been
conducted during the 2008 campaign demonstrating the
ability to reconfigure the vessel to suit a variety of operations
and equipment options.
In addition to the DP2 Havila Harmony and its 150Te AHC
crane, a range of specialist equipment and tooling has been
utilised in the performance of the offshore operations. These
include 2 Triton XLS work class ROVs with a customised ROV
mounted hydraulic skid for SSXT locking, heave compensated
well intervention deployment tower (Vessel Deployment
System – VDS), subsea lubricator (Subsea Intervention Device
– SID) and subsea cutting tool (AXE). The VDS, SID and AXE are
subcontracted services from WellOps SEA.
Project Management and Engineering is well underway
in preparation for the next campaign under the contract.
The schedule for this campaign includes additional SSXT
installations, several PLTs with water shut off and re-
perforation as well as a variety of flowbase installations and
light construction activities. New depth and technology records
will be broken during the next planned campaign.
