Chevron Lombito Tomboco selects Cameron MARS subsea strategy
Accoding to Industry sources, Cameron has confirmed an order of 14 MARSTM (Multiple Application Re-injection Systems) for the long-term subsea production optimization strategy on Chevron's Lombito Tomboco Field in Angola. The order is initially valued at $16M and represents another significant commitment by a major operator to the MARS production interface.
The patented MARS system is a Cameron technology, supplied by DES Operations of Aberdeen, a wholly owned subsidiary of Houston-based Cameron. The technology enables multiple processing technologies to be retrofitted onto subsea Christmas trees and is being applied by Chevron to perform subsea chemical squeeze operations on existing wells in Angola. Chevron and DES have integrated the MARS system into an existing subsea infrastructure enabling chemical scale squeeze operations from an ROV support vessel, eliminating the need for MODU support.
MARS has been previously used by BP for subsea multiphase pumping in the Gulf of Mexico and is scheduled to be deployed by Total in Angola and Shell in the North Sea for subsea multiphase metering and well stimulation respectively.
