Offshore Hydraulic Workover Unit Services in Perth & WA

Backed by a team of experienced engineers, Clear Cut Interventions delivers hydraulic workover unit (HWU) services configured for offshore environments. Our units are designed for fast and efficient deployments on confined platforms, ensuring critical interventions can be completely safely.

Whether it be routine maintenance or plug and abandonment campaigns, our HWUs can support the full life cycle of remote, offshore wells.

Built for Offshore Challenges

Offshore platforms present a unique set of challenges and our HWUs are engineered to meet those demands. Whether it be a restricted footprint, exposure to harsh marine conditions or the need for high levels of operational control, a CCI unit will be able to perform.

All of our HWUs are built to API 4F standards and rated for use in cyclone prone regions. Other important offshore features include:

  • Compact and modular design, suitable for tight platform layouts and manageable transport.

  • Corrosion-resistant construction, to withstand the marine environment.

  • Remote-control operation, reducing crew exposure during high-pressure tasks.

  • Integrated lifting systems, allowing rig-up in height-restricted or unconventional spaces.

Platform Compatibility

Our team design and construct each hydraulic workover rig with versatility at front of mind, ensuring the unit can be deployed on a range of platform types. Whether operating on fixed platforms, jack-up rigs or small modular installations, our HWUs are compact and modular enough to be lifted and rigged up efficiently in confined deck spaces.

With a flexible footprint and engineered lift options, they are especially suitable for installations with space or height limitations, without compromising operational capability.

Typical Offshore Applications for HWUs

Our HWUs can be in a range of offshore operations, including:

  • Live well interventions and snubbing operations

  • Completion and recompletion activities

  • Tubing and casing recovery

  • Gas lift valve replacement

  • Well control and pressure isolation tasks

  • Plug and abandonment of depleted wells

From installation to operation, our workflows are designing to minimise downtime, reduce risks and support ongoing production or decommissioning goals.

Case Study: Using a Modular Hydraulic Workover Rig to Overcome Platform Constraints

On a recent offshore project at the Northwest Shelf, CCI successfully deployed a hydraulic workover unit to service an outlying well with restricted platform height. Our team engineered a modified lifting strategy and used a compact rig-up approach to safely access the well and carry out intervention activities. This was all done without the need for major infrastructure changes, a demonstration of how our equipment and designs can adapt to offshore constraints.

A Comprehensive Service

To best position itself for success, any offshore operation must be paired with a firm grasp of regulations and procedures. That’s why we promote:

Safety and Risk Management

Safety is at heart of all of CCI’s offshore operations. Across WA, our hydraulic workover services are supported by robust HSEQ procedures and site-specific risk controls. All work is carried our in accordance with regulatory requirements and industry best practices, including both API and IMCA standards.

CCI offshore staff are trained in hazard identification, marine logistics and pressure control procedures to ensure that interventions are executed safely in high risk, high pressure environments.

Environmental Considerations

Operating in marine environments requires careful planning to minimise ecological impact. CCI pride ourselves on using environmentally responsible practices paired with appropriate monitoring strategies.

Across all offshore operations we maintain our equipment for fuel efficiency, leak prevention and low emissions, using containment systems to manage fluids and waste during live interventions. We also follow strict waste-handling protocols onboard to ensure safe storage and transport of by-products for proper disposal or treatment.
