Westhill-based energy production technology service company Proserv has unveiled next-generation subsea cutting equipment.
The multi-string cutting (MSC) tool is said to provide complete well severance, from tool deployment to cutting operation and tool recovery, within 12 hours.
David Dent, vice president offshore and subsea services, said: “The MSC tool provides a solution that is more efficient than conventional mechanical cutting methods, saving time and money in well-abandonment operations and it is considerably more environmentally friendly than explosives.”
