Intervention-less Completion with the IRBV
With over 30 successful conventional and subsea completion installations, the IRBV reduces in-well trips by transferring activities from the rig to a vessel. With remote close and open activation, intervention can be removed throughout the pre-production phase, ultimately reducing cost and saving time.
The IRBV can be utilised in various applications, for example as a shallow barrier for BOP removal and VXT installation purposes, for both conventional and subsea completion. Or as a deep barrier allowing for communication down the tubing until the valve is closed. i.e. to avoid running upper completion closed ended or allowing for communication when e.g. running standalone screens.
