Sembmarine delivers semi-submersible rig to Helix Energy Solutions

It is used for well intervention and decommissioning in waters up to 3,000m deep.

Sembcorp Marine (Sembmarine) delivered its Q7000 well intervention semi-submersible rig to Helix Energy Solutions, according to a press release.

The 93.6 metre-long, 61.1 metre-wide rig was jointly designed by Sembmarine and Helix to perform production enhancement operations as well as field development support, well cleanup and well-decommissioning tasks like tubing removal and seafloor clearance.

It is equipped with an IMO-certified Class 3 Dynamic Positioning System and the Helix-designed Intervention Riser System to execute its well intervention and decommissioning operations in water depths of up to 3,000m.

The Q7000 is expected to begin its first project in January 2020 off the West African coast.

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

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
