Aquaterra Energy wins multi-million-dollar subsea contract for Nigerian project

Offshore engineering firm Aquaterra Energy has secured a multi-million-dollar contract with Intrepid Energy Limited (IEL) to provide a specialized subsea well intervention equipment package for a project in Nigeria.

The equipment will support IEL’s intervention operations across multiple mature oil wells in the region.

The contract involves the delivery of a comprehensive seabed-to-surface intervention system. This includes Aquaterra Energy’s TRT tieback tooling, designed to provide production bore and annular access, a lightweight well pressure control system, and an ISO 13628-7 qualified open water intervention riser equipped with an integrated tensioning system. These components form a turnkey well access package tailored for the project.

Aquaterra Energy will also supply ongoing offshore engineering support throughout the multi-year project. A dedicated team of engineers will provide technical expertise and service support to ensure the system’s operation.

Andrew McDowell, Delivery Director at Aquaterra Energy, described the equipment’s features, stating, “Our expertise in offshore engineering allows us to develop tailored intervention solutions that address the operational challenges of subsea well access. This system has been engineered for efficiency, ease of deployment, and safety, helping IEL optimize intervention activities across Nigeria while reducing costs. By delivering a complete, integrated package, we are simplifying complex operations and enabling operators to maximise production potential.”
