The story behind
From Challenge to Innovation: The Cost-Saving Wellhead Dressing Tool
Saga Subsea received an intriguing challenge from one of our clients, a leading energy operator. The issue? A wellhead on the seabed had sustained significant damage to one of its locking mechanisms. This task demanded both precision and creativity, and Saga Subsea’s engineering team rose to the occasion.
What emerged from this challenge was the Wellhead Dressing Tool, a cost-saving and innovative solution designed to repair and restore damaged wellheads.
When the client approached Saga Subsea, they needed a tool that could precisely address the damaged locking profiles and polish the internal seal surfaces of the wellhead.
To meet these requirements, the team designed a tool using interchangeable diamond grinding stones and polishing pads to achieve optimal results.
Seeing Potential Beyond the Original Task
What began as a mission with a single objective evolved into something more significant as Saga Subsea and the client saw additional possibilities. The team developed the Wellhead Inspection Tool, designed to complement the Wellhead Dressing Tool by providing high-quality images of the wellhead’s interior.
It’s difficult to get a clear overview inside a wellhead using traditional methods. The Wellhead Inspection Tool lets us identify the exact location of the damage and evaluate its extent. This precision was crucial to ensure the success of the operation.
The tool also allowed us to verify that the Wellhead Dressing Tool had successfully completed its task.
