The WellSafe Installer is a passive weak link system for “locked to bottom” operations using drillpipe from semi-submersibles. Typical applications include installation and retrieval of x-mas tree’s using drillpipe and installation of subsea casing hangers, tubing hangers. In case of a compensator lock scenario, the tool will separate at a pre-set tension force preventing fatal accidents, severe damage to subsea and rig equipment, and non-productive time.
The WellSafe Installer can be set in strong mode (typical same strength as the DP) during installation, and can be remotely operated to “WeakLink” mode when locked to bottom.
