Abstract:
The invention relates to a system, a clamp, and an associated method, for riserless intervention or abandonment of a subsea well (40), the system comprising means for lowering and/or retrieval of wire line tools (19) or equipment from a surface facility (18) to a subsea location, the system comprising: a Pressure Control Head (2) having an internal through-going bore for receiving a wire line (16), wherein the Pressure Control Head (2), during use, allows access to the subsea well (40) for the wire line and serves as a barrier when the wire line (16) and wire line tool (19) is nm into and out of the subsea well (40), a clamp (17) connected to the PCH (2), a wire line tool (19) connected to the wire line (16), and wherein the clamp (17) is adapted to clamp around or being released from the wire line (16) such that lowering and/or retrieving of the Pressure Control Head (2) and the wire line tool (19) is performed using the wire line (16).
