Aker BP and Halliburton Execute First Umbilical-Less Tubing Hanger Installation
The operation marked a breakthrough in subsea control and completions. The use of digital hydraulic control and the OTHOS allowed the precise installation and orientation of the vertical Christmas Tree tubing hanger without umbilicals, conventional tubing hanger orientation tools, or standard blowout preventer alignment equipment. The approach simplified planning and interface requirements, reduced operational complexity, lowered risks and costs, and increased rig flexibility for Aker BP.
"This milestone moves the entire subsea industry forward and opens up new possibilities once out of reach," said
"At Aker BP, we are committed to innovation that creates safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operations," said Mads Rødsjø, vice president, Drilling and Wells, Aker BP. "The successful eROCS operation is a testament to this ambition. Together with Halliburton, we have taken a major step towards digital subsea control—one that will benefit not only our projects, but the wider industry."
With eROCS now field-validated, operators gain a new tool to reduce complexity and cost with improved control in offshore environments. This successful installation establishes eROCS as a proven solution for subsea well operations and signals a shift toward digital control within offshore markets.
