THE PROJECT Deepwater Corrosion Services recently retrofitted 69 shallow water wellhead platforms, gas lift manifolds, and production platforms in Helis’ Black Bay field. Due to the shallow average water depth (approximately 10ft) and shoaling, a special retrofit system was needed. Deepwater’s RetroLink suspended anode system was perfect for the job; the field’s life was extended for five years without the need for underwater intervention. To protect pipelines and risers, custom continuity jumpers were installed to create a blanket of CP coverage for the entire field. INSTALLATION (TIME: 69 STRUCTURES IN 22 DAYS) The installation for this field included a total of 115 RetroLinks and 89 continuity jumpers. These supplies were loaded onto a spud barge, which was moved around the fi
