innovative services to<strong> facilitate the re-entry and abandonment of old offshore wells<\/strong>.\nThese wells, previously drilled for oil and gas extraction, are <strong><a

previously drilled for oil and gas extraction, will now be used for carbon dioxide storage (CCS) and hydrogen storage projects, a key to the energy transition. <\/p>\n\n<p>With its new patent-pending Recoverable Abandonment Framework (RAF), Aquaterra is tackling one of the industry&#8217;s biggest technical challenges: <em>the accurate location and safe abandonment of problematic wells that could pose environmental hazards.<\/em> These structures, being below the seabed, pose a potential risk of leakage, a problem the company has solved with its subsea imaging and well technology.<\/p>\n\n<h2

system<\/a><\/strong> system allows effective reentry of wells through the installation of subsea pipelines, which protects aging infrastructure from environmental loads.\nThis breakthrough saves time and costs and also guarantees an 80% reduction in operating expenses, <strong>with estimated savings of up to \u00a320 million per well.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<p>The company is already in negotiations with major operators in the energy sector. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/inspenet.com\/en\/video-tv\/ampp-annual-conference-expo-2024-opening\/\" data-type=\"video-tv\" data-id=\"179856\"
