Trendsetter Vulcan Offshore (TVO) introduced its pioneering tethered blowout preventer (TBOP) technology to the industry in 2013 and has applied proprietary systems globally to mitigate wellhead fatigue and enable deepwater DP rigs to work in shallow water.
Since the first systems were deployed, TVO has developed and successfully used multiple versions of the equipment in most of the world’s offshore operating basins.
But recognizing the value of our technology is not the same as understanding how it works.
Our white paper explains how TVO’s proprietary Hercules ™ TBOP system allows DP rigs to work safely in shallow water, protecting the BOP and wellhead structure to avert the serious consequences that could result from a rig DP drift-off/drive-off event. The Hercules™ system is strong enough to absorb the large loads caused by a loss of stationkeeping and prevents damage and loss of stability to the critical BOP and well systems.
