Successful Offshore Recovery and Reuse of CAN-parking Units Demonstrates Sustainable Subsea Innovation

In a recent offshore project, Neodrill and its partners successfully recovered, reinstalled, and reused CAN-parking units directly in the field — without transporting them onshore. This achievement demonstrates how innovative subsea solutions, combined with strong collaboration and technical precision, can significantly reduce emissions, costs, and environmental impact.

Enabling Offshore Reuse Through Technical Excellence

The project scope required comprehensive technical reassessments to ensure safe and efficient relocation. This included:

• Detailed geotechnical reassessments

• Accurate depth verifications

• Thorough structural integrity checks

Each phase was executed according to the highest industry standards for accuracy, safety, and sustainability. By conducting the recovery and reinstallation offshore, the project avoided unnecessary transport and handling, further reducing CO₂ emissions and overall environmental footprint.

This approach aligns with Neodrill’s commitment to responsible field development and maximizing asset value throughout the lifecycle of subsea infrastructure.

Strong Collaboration Drives Successful Offshore Execution

TechnipFMC led the offshore execution, utilizing its extensive installation capabilities and operational expertise to ensure seamless recovery and reinstallation.

The project was carried out in close collaboration with Harbour Energy. Their proactive engagement and solution-oriented approach were instrumental in achieving a safe and efficient outcome.

This partnership highlights the importance of alignment between operator, service provider, and technology company when pursuing innovative and sustainable offshore solutions.

Reducing Emissions and Extending Sustainable Asset Value

By reusing CAN-parking units in the field, the project delivered:

• Reduced offshore operational time

• Lower CO₂ emissions

• Decreased costs

• Minimized environmental impact

• Extended lifecycle of subsea assets

At Neodrill, our mission is to educate the industry on why CAN technology represents the preferred well foundation solution for subsea exploration, production, and CCS wells. Projects like this demonstrate how collaboration and engineering excellence can unlock new levels of sustainability in offshore operations.

We are proud to work alongside partners who share our commitment to innovation, operational excellence, and responsible energy development.
