Trendsetter Engineering, Inc. has announced the successful first deployment of its flagship Trident 20K Intervention System in the Gulf of America. Trident 20K was deployed from the Deepwater Atlas for a two-well flowback operation at Beacon Offshore Energy’s Shenandoah project. Trendsetter wet-hopped the Trident 20K system between wells, significantly reducing operational costs and saving the client several days of critical path rig time. The system has since returned to Trendsetter for post-campaign maintenance so that it will be in a ready-to-deploy state for future operations.

This is a significant milestone for the industry and Trendsetter with the launch of its first 20K Open Water Intervention Riser System (OWIRS). The deployment of Trident 20K comes on the heels of Trendsetter’s successful delivery of the 20K production manifold and associated surf components. Trident 20K is the latest addition to its fleet of rental intervention kits.

When Trendsetter introduced its Trident 15K Intervention System in 2020, it was the first step towards a larger goal: the development and deployment of the industry’s first 20K OWIRS. The Trident 20K OWIRS represents years of dedicated research, development, engineering, design, assembly, and testing, culminating in this groundbreaking achievement.

Trendsetter Engineering, Inc. is a privately owned oil and gas service company based in Houston, Texas which provides specialized subsea hardware and offshore service solutions globally from exploration drilling through abandonment.
