Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc. (NYSE: HLX), an international offshore energy services company headquartered in Houston, Texas, has been awarded a 5-well complete abandonment project by New Zealand’s Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE), to be performed by the Helix Q7000 and 10K Intervention Riser System (IRS). The contract with MBIE is the second recent award for Helix in the Asia Pacific region, following the award of Cooper Energy BMG wells abandonment in Australia’s Bass Strait.

The Q7000 is expected to mobilize late 2022 to the Tui Field, offshore New Plymouth, and perform the work in three phases, including well abandonment, recovery of XTs and wellhead severance and recovery. Excluding mobilization, the project is anticipated to last approximately 60 days.

David Carr, Senior Vice President – International for Helix Well Ops, said, “This award, coming on the heels of our award with Cooper Energy, shows that an integrated vessel package such as the Q7000 can address a wide range of subsea decommissioning challenges. With Schlumberger, our partners in the Subsea Services Alliance, we provide a complete solution to complex decommissioning scopes. As we commence this project, we look forward to working with tangata whenua, MBIE and the wider community to protect and restore the mana of this location.”

“We are thrilled to be awarded our first ever decommissioning project offshore New Zealand,” stated Scotty Sparks, Helix’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “We are industry leaders and are excited to continue expanding our service offerings and global operational footprint into the APAC region, helping our clients navigate energy transition, optimize subsea infrastructure and maximize their economic returns.”

“Helix was awarded the contract after a competitive procurement process to select a supplier that met MBIE’s objectives of a robust technical solution, flexibility in timing, competitive pricing and a commitment to working with iwi and local stakeholders,” said MBIE Tui Project director Lloyd Williams. “Helix is widely recognized internationally as one of the largest and most capable contractors for well intervention and abandonment, and we are looking forward to working with them to complete the final phase of the decommissioning. Helix’s proposed vessel to carry out the work, the Q7000, is a state-of-the-art unit which is optimized for well decommissioning and features specialized equipment required to complete the work safely and efficiently,” said Williams.

Equipped with an IMO-certified DP3 system and the Helix-designed IRS, the Q7000 can execute well intervention and decommissioning operations in water depths ranging from 85m to 3,000m. With its open deck plan and tri-axial configuration, the Q7000 is capable of a wide range of production enhancement operations as well as well clean-up and field development support. It is equally optimized for well decommissioning, including suspension, tubing removal, tree recovery and sea floor clearance.

The Q7000 features a full suite of Schlumberger equipment as part of the joint Subsea Services Alliance, providing integrated subsea well services including coiled tubing, slickline, e-line and cementing services.

Sembcorp Marine delivers Q7000 well intervention semi-submersible rig to Helix



Singapore, Nov 08, 2019 – Sembcorp Marine today delivered the Q7000 well intervention semi-submersible rig to Helix Energy Solutions Group, Inc., following a fruitful collaboration between the two companies to complete the project amid challenging market conditions.

Measuring 93.6m in length and 61.1m in breadth, the Q7000 was jointly designed by Sembcorp Marine and Helix. The vessel can perform a wide range of production enhancement operations as well as field development support, well cleanup and well decommissioning tasks such as tubing removal and sea floor clearance.

Equipped with an IMO-certified Class 3 Dynamic Positioning System and the Helix-designed Intervention Riser System, the Q7000 is able to execute well intervention and decommissioning operations in water depths of up to 3,000m. This makes the Q7000 suitable for deepwater operations globally, including in the UK North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico as well as offshore West Africa and Brazil.

In February 2015, Sembcorp Marine also delivered to Helix the Q5000, a vessel similar to the Q7000.

“We are very grateful to Helix for partnering with us to build the Q5000 and Q7000, particularly the latter project which was executed during a difficult time in the market,” Sembcorp Marine President & CEO Mr Wong Weng Sun said. “The delivery of the Q7000 demonstrates not only Sembcorp Marine’s proven ability to provide innovative design and construction solutions, but also our firm commitment to working with our customers to overcome challenges and complete projects smoothly. We look forward to the possibility of collaborating with Helix again in the future.”

The Q7000 is expected to commence its first project in January next year, providing subsea services off the West African coast.
