CAN-ductor

Suction anchor with one integrated conductor joint, installed by vessel before rig arrival to provide a verified subsea wellhead foundation.

Description

The CAN-ductor integrates one joint of conductor into the body of the CAN-basic in Neodrill's workshop. During installation the suction anchor pushes the conductor into the seabed, providing structural support for the well.

  • Load capacity calculated onshore and verified during installation
  • Inclination of less than 1° in all projects to date
  • For exploration wells it is a rental product; CAN and conductor are recovered by a light vessel, typically in under 24 hours on location
  • Licensed to Equinor under the brand name CAP-X

Applications
