This contract compliments the multi-year IMR agreement currently in place with BP and other operators in the Gulf of Mexico. We look forward to continuing to grow our relationship with BP by offering unique and cost effective turnkey solutions.”

C-Innovation will be utilizing Wild Well’s 7 series subsea well intervention system, a hydraulic stimulation kit from Caltex Oil Tools as well as the full suite of Halliburton’s numerous wireline, E-Line, coil tubing and pumping units.
