These are only some of the advanced design features that increase the safety and performance of the 460K HWO and Snubbing unit.
DNV 2.7-1 certified, the 460K unit can be lifted straight from a vessel, replacing the need for multi-container lifts – minimising risk to personnel and reducing rig uptime. Freestanding and with the rotary integrated into the travel plate, the 460K unit removes the need for guide wires. A 15” stroke (compared to the traditional 10” stroke) adds even more operational efficiency.

A new standard in well operation performance
High pulling capacity. Large through bore. Ideal for well abandonment.
The next level of unit engineering and design
Maximum capacity and performance for well abandonment
Safely meeting the pressurized well challenge
Electric power for reduced emmissions
Two gas platforms in the Celtic Sea had reached the end of their economic life. WellGear mobilised a 340k and a 460k Unit to plug and abandon their wells.
When a blocked completion prevented a well from being killed, the WG003 HWO was mobilised to pull the completion live and then kill the well.
