Blue Ocean Riserless
Intervention System (BORIS)
Riserless light well intervention (RLWI) solution
Oceaneering provides cost-effective
riserless light well intervention (RLWI)
solutions for downhole intervention,
well stimulation, well remediation,
and plug and abandonment of subsea
wells.
The Blue Ocean Riserless Intervention
System (BORIS) is deployable from a
range of hosts, including dynamically
positioned multipurpose service
vessels (MPSVs) and specific mobile
offshore drilling units (MODUs), and is
fully compatible with remotely operated
vehicles (ROVs). It incorporates a
decade’s worth of engineering lessons
learned on our Interchangeable
Riserless Intervention System (IRIS)
offering and includes future-proofing
features to meet anticipated regulatory
requirements.
Connecting What’s Needed with What’s Next™
Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI)
System Overview
Our wireline-based, riserless intervention capabilities
supplement our hydraulic intervention solutions, and
these capabilities include:
»» Providing nimble solutions with ultimate flexibility
and cost effectiveness
»» Delivering improved workover economics with
systems that let the operator reliably complete
more work (some work previously not viable due
to costs)
»» Supporting activities including operating sleeves,
setting and pulling plugs, and logging and
perforating operations
»» Being fully functional at both high and low
pressures to support life of field applications
from greenfield development through brownfield
operations to decommissioning
»» Supporting intervention in areas in close
proximity to production facilities
A fully Oceaneering-managed spread includes
topside fluid handling equipment, fluid conduits,
slickline/wireline units, and a subsea well control
package. The systems can be used to perform the
following typical downhole well interventions on
horizontal and vertical trees:
»» Well stimulation and remediation
»» Crown plug installation and removal
»» Real-time wellbore logging during production
»» Through-tubing cast iron bridge plug installation
»» Plug back
»» Perforation
»» Temporary plug setting and recovery
»» Sleeve shifting and fishing operations
»» Straddle isolation/tubing patches
»» Temporary (or partial) plug and abandonment
»» Deployment of specialized downhole diagnostic
and remediation tooling via slickline or wireline
(e-line and braided)

Intervention System (BORIS)
Delivering subsea well control
The BORIS subsea well control package provides customers with a light, portable system for
completing RLWI. Its field-proven technology builds on the IRIS system’s capabilities, which
delivered industry-first results in deepwater applications. Globally deployable from a vessel of
opportunity, BORIS provides additional flexibility and cost savings, and ensures that customers can
complete operations where and when they are required.
