Saipem, which has been responsible for the design, fabrication and testing, will now be responsible for the OIE\u2019s ongoing storage and maintenance, from its base here, in Trieste.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSaipem\u2019s extensive experience working with equipment designed for harsh environments, remote areas and deepwater means that the OIE couldn\u2019t be in safer hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stefano Porcari, COO of Saipem\u2019s E&amp;C Offshore Division, added: \u201cWorking on such a pioneering and prestigious project involved Saipem\u2019s know-how from various technological centres and represented a unique opportunity to test Saipem expertise in technology and innovation. OIE marks an unprecedented solution for use in the event of a subsea well incident, where vertical well access by vessel is not possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving actively participated in this project constitutes a remarkable achievement of which we are proud\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>OIE equipment can be deployed up to 500m from an incident site and is suitable for use at a working depth of 75 to 600 metres.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, OIE is also fully compatible with OSRL\u2019s capping equipment, creating an end-to-end capping and containment solution suitable for almost all subsea scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>In line with OSRL\u2019s approach, each member organisation will be provided with training to enable their own experienced personnel to understand the capabilities of the system and operate the OIE during an incident.<\/p>\n<p>Following the end of SWRP, the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP) through the Well Experts Committee (WEC) will work with OSRL to ensure that all stakeholders gain awareness of OIE\u2019s capabilities as part of the process of promoting the adoption of good practice worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oil Spill Response Limited\u2019s (OSRL) latest development in subsea well capping technology, Offset Installation Equipment (OIE), has been launched from the equipment\u2019s new home base in Trieste, Italy.
