en.Wedoany.com Reported - Trendsetter Vulcan Offshore (TVO) has deployed its Hercules tethered blowout preventer (TBOP) system to restore production from a shut-in well in the northwestern U.S. Gulf of Mexico, enabling a deepwater floating rig equipped with dynamic positioning (DP) to safely perform well intervention operations in shallow water environments.

The Hercules TBOP system is specifically designed to allow deepwater floating vessels equipped with DP systems to operate in shallow water areas, where safety zones are more stringent and anchor-moored rigs are typically required for well intervention operations. The unnamed operator, who had previously used the Hercules TBOP for another project, contacted TVO during the well planning phase and planned to deploy a DP rig already under a long-term deepwater contract, rather than mobilizing an additional anchor-moored rig to the site. TVO engineers modified the blowout preventer configuration based on site-specific requirements, completed system design and customization, and conducted on-site load testing prior to installation.
