ABOUT US OUR INNOVATIONS APPLICATIONS NEWS CONTACT TECHNOLOGY READINESS LEVEL: RESEARCH IN PROGRESS PRESSURE CONTROL High power lasers are being adapted to subsea pressure control systems in order to sever the "un-shearables" that can pass thru the blowout preventer. High-energy laser shear rams are currently in development that can successfully sever currently “unshearble” tubulars regardless of: Size Metallurgy Tension/Compression Orientation Easily deployable on a rig Incorporate into existing BOP Set regulatory and industry standards for well control Open to the industry to improve safety and mitigate Macondo Additional application for riser disconnect and intervention shearing requirements Feasibility Testing Video Test Sample: S136 Drill Pipe x 3/8” wall thickness 4200 psi fluid flowing @ 210 gpm OTHER APPLICATIONS LAND DECOMMISSIONING OFFSHORE & SUBSEA DECOMMISSIONING WORKOVER & COMPLETION DRILLING TEXAS 5506 Clara Rd.
