N2  - Baker Hughes has released its Terminator vessel-deployed subsea wellhead cutting system. The system can reduce fuel consumption with its 100-hp motor and is also smaller and lighter compared to the original 1,000-hp abrasive water cutting system typically used on similar types of vessel-based operations. The Terminator technology affirms Baker Hughes’ commitment to energy transition by helping customers decarbonize oil and gas operations. Using a mechanical wellhead removal method, the system has already proven its capabilities by successfully cutting a subsea wellhead from an abandoned exploration well owned by Wintershall DEA in Norway. Baker Hughes worked with Wintershall DEA to cut the subsea wellhead from an abandoned exploration well in 360-m water depth in only 35 minutes. By comparison, alternative abrasive cutting methods could take as long as 5 to 6 hours for the cut alone. The Terminator system can be deployed from a vessel and uses a mechanical cutter, rather than water jet cutting methods of conventional systems, to eliminate associated risks with high pressures
