This paper describes an operational subsea wireline system that is self-contained and flexible and offers a safe, economical, and proven method for riserless re-entry into any subsea well. The system discussed here was developed over a number of years and has been used to carry out a comprehensive range of wireline tasks from floating vessels in the North Sea. Although generally deployed from a diving support vessel (DSV), the system has been successfully used from a drilling rig to conduct wireline operations in a well, simultaneously with workover operations in an adjacent well, on a subsea template.
