SWRP selected Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL) to organize the manufacturing, storing and maintaining of the capping and Subsea Intervention Response Toolkit (SIRT) equipment. A concept to complement a subsea well incident response in scenarios where capping alone is not sufficient to stem the flow of well fluids and to capture and dispose of them in a safe and controlled way.
DSTI designed and manufactured
subsea swivels as part of the containment toolkit and was additionally contracted to store and maintain the subsea swivel units until needed in an emergency response.
