Low cost and low CO2 emissions for your next exploration and production well

Over the last twenty years, Neodrill has combined innovation with fresh thinking to reimagine structural well foundations. Its patent-protected Conductor Anchor Node (CAN) technology is used extensively for both exploration and production wells to reduce emissions, costs, and risk. The CAN is a conductor-less alternative to a conventional conductor installed with a vessel, and will also provide a foundation for placing SPS equipment on it like tie in system, manifold, etc.

With a track record of 40+ installations in Norway and international, the CAN technology is a widely accepted solution reducing emissions, costs, and risk.

MEET THE CAN-DUCTOR

An evolution of existing technology for the ultimate subsea wellhead foundation to eliminate any conductor stability issues.

The CAN-ductor is a suction anchor with one joint of integrated conductor. The load capacity of the CAN allows us to shorten the length of the conductor to one joint. The conductor is integrated in our workshop where we have complete control of the environment. The suction anchor pushes the conductor into the seabed, providing top-hole support for the well. By installing  the top-hole with light vessels, the CAN-ductor ensures that the subsea well foundation is in place before the rig arrives on location. 

​ 

Unlike traditional wellhead systems that leave operators with stability uncertainties up to and after installation, the CAN-ductor provides a reliable well foundation with verified high load capacity.

Equinor has purchased a licence to use the Neodrill technology under the brand name CAP-X, and the first use was for a field development on the Bauge field on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

WHY USE A CAN?

An innovative, proven solution that cuts well construction time and cost, reduces emissions, risk, and improves safety. 

The CAN-ductor creates a smarter well foundation with operational and commercial benefits for both exploration and production wells. 

Operational benefits

Zero rig time: pre-installed by a vessel 
 

Managed fatigue capacity

 

Load capacity is calculated and verified

 

Pre-installed conductor in the workshop, ensures quality and integrity

 

No cementing or grouting

 

Easy P&A

Reduces risk due to reduced open-water rig operations making risk management ALARP

Improved HSE

- Hands off conductor installation

- Reduced heavy lifts

- Simplified logistics

- Best available practise

Reduced season dependancy

Commercial benefits

Reduced project execution time

Saves 2 - 4 rig days

Pre-mounted equipment cost savings
