ABERDEEN, UK – BG Group (LSE: BG.L) has contracted Expro to provide its AX-S subsea well intervention system on two wells in the North Sea.

The campaign is set to start late this year, followed by an extended intervention campaign going into 2013 and beyond.

The interventions will involve in-well wireline activity, including production logging using a well tractor, and subsea tree removal.

AX-S, which is remotely operated from a monohull vessel, can be used for intervention on subsea wells to water depths of 10,000 ft (3,048 m). The system can also be applied for maintenance around the subsea infrastructure.
