Subsea well intervention method

1. A subsea well intervention method implemented on a well from a floating vessel, said floating vessel not comprising a derrick, the method comprising:

connecting a blowout preventer module onto a subsea tree;

connecting a lubricator module onto the blowout preventer module;

connecting a power line directly between a remotely operated vehicle and the blowout preventer module for powering the blowout preventer module, the remotely operated vehicle being connected to a control unit located on the floating vessel via a remotely operated vehicle umbilical;

running down in water an assembly of a tool and a pressure control head, said tool being suspended by a wire line from a first crane of the floating vessel;

running the tool inside the lubricator module;

connecting the pressure control head onto the lubricator module;

operating a test procedure of at least one of the pressure control head, the lubricator module and the blowout preventer module by the control unit and via the remotely operated vehicle and its power line;

opening valves of the blowout preventer module; and

running the tool down inside the well.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the test procedure is at least a pressure test to ensure sealing performance of a main conduit inside the blowout preventer module, the lubricator module and the pressure control head, before opening valves of the blowout preventer module that open said main conduit to the well.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the test procedure comprises:

operating a first test consisting of testing the blowout preventer module via the remotely operated vehicle, after connecting the blowout preventer module onto a subsea tree;

operating a second test of the lubricator module and blowout preventer module via the remotely operated vehicle, after connecting the lubricator module onto the blowout preventer module; and

operating a third test of the pressure control head, the lubricator module and the blowout preventer module, after connecting the pressure control head onto the lubricator module, the tool being inside a main conduit inside the lubricator module.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before running down in water the assembly, the method comprises preparing the assembly on the floating vessel by:

connecting the tool to the wire line from the first crane, vertically, above the floating vessel deck, the pressure control head being above the tool and the wire line passing through the pressure control head toward the tool; and

using the first crane to move the assembly above the sea for being able to run down in water said assembly.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, before running down in water the assembly, the method comprises preparing the assembly on the floating vessel by:

enclosing the assembly inside a cage to maintain the assembly steady positioned inside said cage, said cage being located horizontally on the floating vessel deck;

connecting the tool to the wire line from the first crane, the wire line passing through the pressure control head toward the tool;

tilting the cage enclosing the assembly into a vertical direction; and

moving the assembly above the sea for being able to run down in water said assembly.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the power line comprises a hydraulic line and an electric line.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit communicates with the remotely operated vehicle via a physical link or via a wireless link.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the wireless link is an acoustic link.

9. A subsea well intervention method implemented on a well from a floating vessel, said floating vessel not comprising a derrick, the method comprising:

connecting a blowout preventer module onto a subsea tree;

connecting a power line directly between a remotely operated vehicle and the blowout preventer module for powering the blowout preventer module, the remotely operated vehicle being connected to a control unit located on the floating vessel via a remotely operated vehicle umbilical;

running down in water an assembly of a lubricator module, a pressure control head and a tool, the pressure control head being connected to the lubricator module, the tool being inside the lubricator module and being suspended by a wire line from a first crane of the floating vessel;

connecting the lubricator module of the assembly onto the blowout preventer module, the lubricator module including the tool;

operating a test procedure of at least one of the pressure control head, the lubricator module and the blowout preventer module by the control unit and via the remotely operated vehicle and its power line;

opening valves of the blowout preventer module; and

running the tool down inside the well.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the test procedure is a pressure test to ensure sealing performance of a main conduit inside the blowout preventer module, the lubricator module and the pressure control head, the tool being inside the main conduit in the lubricator module, and said pressure test being performed before opening valves of the blowout preventer module that open said main conduit to the well.

11. The method according to claim 9 , wherein, before running down in water the assembly, the method comprises preparing the assembly on the floating vessel by:

enclosing the assembly inside a cage to maintain the assembly steady positioned inside said cage, said cage being located horizontally on the floating vessel deck;

connecting the tool to the wire line from the first crane, the wire line passing through the pressure control head toward the tool;

tilting the cage enclosing the assembly into a vertical direction; and

moving the assembly above the sea for being able to run down in water said assembly.

12. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the power line comprises a hydraulic line and an electric line.

13. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the control unit communicates with the remotely operated vehicle via a physical link or via a wireless link.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the wireless link is an acoustic link.
