Featured case

Wellgrab HIROS was deployed offshore Norway to resolve a shut-in producer with a plug and BHA left downhole. Featuring a motor-driven grapple system with configurable overshots and spears, HIROS cut through debris and enabled precise, force-controlled latching on two separate fish. The first-ever HIROS deployment restored production and proved its unique value in complex fishing scenarios.
