Helix overview

We are an international offshore energy services company that provides specialty services to the offshore energy industry, with a focus on well intervention, robotics, and full-field decommissioning operations. Our services are key in supporting a global energy transition:

  • Production maximization — our assets and methodologies are specifically designed to efficiently enhance and extend the lives of existing oil and gas reserves; we also offer an alternative to take over end-of-life reserves in preparation for their abandonment;
     
  • Decommissioning — we are a full-field abandonment contractor and believe that regulatory push for plug and abandonment (“P&A”) and transition to renewable energy will facilitate the continued growth of the abandonment market; and
     
  • Renewables — we are an established global leader in jet trenching and provide specialty support services to renewable energy developments such as offshore wind farms, including boulder removal and unexploded ordnance clearance.

We provide a range of services to the oil and gas and renewable energy markets primarily in the Gulf of Mexico (deepwater and shelf), U.S. East Coast, Brazil, North Sea, Asia Pacific and West Africa regions.

Our services are segregated into four reportable business segments: Well Intervention, Robotics, Production Facilities, and Shallow Water Abandonment.

Well Intervention
Our Well Intervention segment provides services enabling our customers to safely access subsea offshore wells to perform production enhancement or decommissioning operations, thereby mitigating the need to drill new wells by extending the useful lives of existing wells and preserving the environment by preventing uncontrolled releases of oil and natural gas.

Robotics
Our Robotics segment provides trenching, seabed clearance, offshore construction and inspection, repair, and maintenance (“IRM”) services to both the oil and gas and the renewable energy markets globally, thereby assisting the delivery of renewable energy and supporting the responsible transition away from a carbon-based economy. Additionally, our robotics services are used in and complement our well intervention services.

Shallow Water Abandonment
Our Shallow Water Abandonment segment provides services in support of the upstream and midstream industries predominantly in the Gulf of Mexico shelf, including offshore oilfield decommissioning and reclamation, project management, engineered solutions, intervention, maintenance, repair, heavy lift and commercial diving services.

Production Facilities
Our Production Facilities segment includes the Helix Producer I (the “HP I”), a ship-shaped dynamically positioned floating production vessel, the Helix Fast Response System (the “HFRS”), which combines the HP I, the Q4000, and the Q5000 with certain well control.
