SUBSEA CONTAINMENT TOOLKIT
In spite of all preventing rules and measures, oil spill incidents cannot be prevented always, and large oil spills keep occurring. The conventional technologies and procedures developed to respond to oil spills in temperate waters (as used in the Gulf of Mexico) are strictly conditioned by weather and do not apply to the hurricane season, while simply being not transferrable to the Arctic region. The availability of an appropriate method, equipment and skills permitting tactical readiness for immediate action and rapid containment even on iced seas or stormy seas is an imperative need for the oil industry.

SUBSEA CABLE REPAIR
Subsea cables experience corrosion and scouring effects from underwater mechanical forces generated by tides, currents, seabed conditions. More than 50% of subsea faults over a 15-year period are caused by armor abrasion, armor corrosion and Third-Party Damage (fishing, anchors, ship contact). To ensure and to boost the flow, a high-rate pumping system can be connected, as to convey the captured fluid through a flexible flowline to a tanker placed at a safe distance from the incident well.
