It has the newest control-room technology. The vessel is equipped with features such as a high-pressure pump over pressure kick-out system and a dedicated fire-suppression system to help ensure that safer operations.
The vessel also features unique technologies such as the acid-on-the-fly (AOF) capability and the ability to reconfigure using Halliburton’s Vessel Modular Solution (VMS) system. Halliburton’s AOF system provides real-time control of the acid blend. The VMS system provides a level of flexibility and options not available with standard vessels. The VMS system is designed to enable easy expansion and upgrades in the future, increasing the capabilities of the vessel when needed.
