Operational Scenario
Real Results: Cutting of FPSO Riser Remnants to Allow Dry Docking.
Challenge
Flexible risers under FPSO turret cut by ROV at -30m required cutting flush with DBSC’s.
Solution
SubseaPartner executed diver-led cold cuts using custom built diamond wire cutting saw.
Outcome
All remnants successfully cut & recovered to flat top barge, FPSO dry docked without issue.
