4:14 The challenge
- →A hurricane-driven seafloor mudslide toppled an offshore platform, burying a cluster of ~28 wells under sediment in ~475 ft of water.
- →Chronic release ongoing for years; well positions uncertain with no surface access.
- →Wells must be located and intercepted entirely subsurface, where usable surveys don't exist.
Our solution
Magnetic-ranging-led location and intercept: AMR + PMR while-drilling to deterministically locate each buried wellbore, then drill intercept / relief wells to permanently plug and abandon the cluster.
Early engineering underway, execution targeted end-Q4 2026 / Q1 2027
The result
~28 wells
