The Island Constructor light well intervention (LWI) vessel is on route to Nigeria according to a release from Erin Energy. The vessel will be used on Erin’s Oyo field offshore the West African nation.
The Island Constructor, which departed from Skalevic, Norway, will be used for LWI service on the Oyo-8 well due to the well’s sub-surface controlled sub-surface safety valve (SCSSV) failure to open following a planned production curtailment in the Oyo field.
The company expects to complete the intervention and re-opening of the SCSSV in April 2016.
The vessel is anticipated to arrive on the Oyo field mid-April and will immediately commence work on Oyo-8. The company expects the intervention to take a few days to complete and to subsequently re-establish production from the well.
