Abstract:Spacing out production tubing and landing the tubing hanger in subsea completions is particularly challenging in wells with extreme well depths or in highly deviated well bores, as rig heave can significantly challenge space-out operations. Another problem also can occur when attempting to enter the casing at the subsea blowout preventer (BOP) in deep water, since the subsea currents can initiate a bending motion to the riser, causing the bottom of the completion to enter the subsea blowout preventer (BOP) at … Show more
