Interchangeable Riserless
Intervention System (IRIS)
Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI) Solution

Oceaneering provides cost-effective, RLWI solutions for down-

hole intervention, well stimulation, well remediation, and plug and
abandonment of subsea wells.
Our interchangeable riserless intervention system (IRIS) is
deployable from a range of hosts including dynamically positioned
multi-purpose service vessels (MPSVs) and mobile offshore
drilling units (MODUs) and is fully ROV compatible.

FEATURES

Cost-effective, highly reliable riserless well intervention system

Patented, field proven technology

Global RWLI operations from vessel of opportunity

Connecting What’s Needed with What’s Next™

Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI)
System Overview
Our wireline-based, riserless intervention
capabilities supplement our hydraulic
intervention solutions and:
»» enable us to provide nimble solutions with
ultimate flexibility and cost-effectiveness
»» deliver improved work-over economics
with systems that let the operator
complete more work, some previously not
viable due to costs, reliably.
»» support activities including operating
sleeves, setting and pulling plugs, and
logging and perforating functions
»» Fully functional at both high and low
pressures and support life of field
applications from brownfield development
through decommissioning
»» support intervention in areas in close
proximity to production facilities or where a
fatigued wellhead or tree is involved.
A fully Oceaneering managed RLWI spread
includes topside fluid handling equipment,
fluid conduits, slickline/wireline units, and a
subsea well control package. The systems can
be used to perform the following typical down-
hole well interventions on horizontal and
vertical trees:

»» Well stimulation and remediation »» Temporary plug setting and recovery

»» Crown plug installation and removal »» Sleeve shifting and fishing operations
»» Real-time wellbore logging during »» Straddle isolation/tubing patches
production »» Plug and abandonment
»» Through tubing cast iron bridge plug »» Deployment of specialized down-hole
installation diagnostic and remediation tooling via
»» Plug back slickline or wireline (e-line and braided)
»» Perforation

System (IRIS)
Delivering subsea well control
The IRIS subsea well control package provides customers with a light, portable system for
completing RLWI. Its field proven technology has delivered industry-first results in deepwater
applications. Globally deployable from a vessel of opportunity, IRIS provides additional flexibility,
cost savings, and ensures customers can complete operations where and when they are
required.
