Subsea Containment Assembly

Developed between 2012 and 2014 specifically for high-pressure/high-temperature (HPHT) emergency operations in the Gulf of Mexico, this SCA was manufactured by Aker Solutions to deliver robust well containment capabilities. The assembly is comprised of several critical components:

1. Connector Assembly

   • Engineered to securely couple with multiple wellhead or capping stack interfaces.
   • High-integrity, quick-connect design minimizes rig time during critical operations.

2. Choke and Gate Valves

   • Control flow and pressure in intervention or containment scenarios.
   • Built from corrosion-resistant alloys to withstand harsh GoM conditions.

3. Double Ram Assembly

   • Incorporates dual rams for enhanced sealing and shearing capabilities.
   • ROV-operable design ensures rapid closure and reduced exposure risk.

4. SCA Cap

   • Forms a pressure-tight seal over a compromised wellhead.
   • Integrated ports for real-time pressure monitoring.

5. Subsea Accumulator Module (SAM)

   • Supplies the hydraulic pressure to operate and close the double rams.
   • Maintains reserve pressure for the SCA control system.

6. Fabrication Stands

   • Provide stable support during fabrication, testing, and maintenance.
   • Simplify storage and mobilization processes.

Primary Applications:

• Emergency well containment
• HPHT well intervention
• Rapid capping of compromised wellheads
• Pressure control and flow regulation
