Trident Energy successfully completes first saturation diving campaign in Brazil
Thursday 9 February 2023
Trident have been operating the Pampo and Enchova mature fields in offshore Brazil since July 2020. Since the acquisition, the company have been working hard to revitalize the fields to extend their operational life. Most recently, the company launched Trident's first saturation diving campaign in Brazil and the second in Trident´s history.
The campaign was successfully completed by the companies team and partners. The main objective was to remove two valves, allowing additional integrity tasks to be carried out, and bringing a greater overall result in terms of subsea integrity and potential return to production (RTP).
To execute the work, Trident hired a Diving Support Vessel (DSV), DOF Skandi Achiever, and a Brazilian diving company, SISTAC, that provided the saturation divers. It had been five years since saturation diving was carried out in Brazil, and the HSE department was heavily involved during the planning and offshore execution ensuring the safety of the divers.
