BJ Services Company has announced it is launching the world's largest high-performance stimulation vessel for oil and gas wells in the Lower Tertiary and other Gulf of Mexico formations.
The Blue Dolphin™ stimulation vessel is custom-designed to provide 20,000 psi working pressure via multiple Coflexip® reeled flexible umbilical lines. Together with accommodations for up to 45 crew members, the vessel can perform large-volume, high-pressure stimulation operations for multizone or multiwell operations.
Gulf of Mexico well completions have become increasingly more complex with the exploration and development of deep formations (20,000+ ft/6096+ m) in water depths beyond 5,000 ft (1524 m). High-pressure and high-temperature (HP/HT) conditions and complex geologies common to these formations require advanced sand control and well stimulation technologies.
The Blue Dolphin stimulation vessel is purposely designed to meet a variety of sophisticated frac-pack, gravel-pack, proppant fracturing and acidizing conditions.
