About Trendsetter’s Capping Stacks

 

 

Capping Stack technology is one of the highest impact developments to hit the oil and gas industry in many years, and Trendsetter remains at the apex of innovation.

As a result of the Macondo oil spill incident in 2010 and the cessation of subsea drilling mandated by the U.S. government, Trendsetter developed a single ram capping stack in 7 ½ weeks for the Marine Well Containment Company (MWCC), a consortium currently consisting of ten Gulf of Mexico companies involved in deep-water drilling. Since then, Trendsetter has become the global leader in providing fit-for-purpose capping stack technology.

Trendsetter develops well containment packages for spill response to be deployed in exploration and production basins around the world, with appropriate services to test, certify, maintain, install, recover, and refurbish the containment packages. The well containment packages feature the Capping Stack, Subsea Accumulator Module, Riser Insert Diverter System, Flow Base, Deck Skids, and Deployment Tooling.
