Our approach connects every phase of subsea operations—providing clients with a single, reliable partner from planning through execution.

Connected Capabilities Across the Project Lifecycle

C-Innovation’s value chain is built around delivering integrated subsea service solutions that combine engineering support, procedural development, and project execution.

Our teams bring together a full range of capabilities, including:

  • Project Management
  • Engineering Support
  • Intervention Services
  • Light Construction / IMR (Inspection, Maintenance & Repair)
  • ROV and AUV Systems
  • Survey and Tooling Services
  • Vessel-Based Operations

These services are aligned under one structure to support efficient, end-to-end subsea project delivery.

Beyond Traditional Subsea Services

While widely recognized for subsea construction, IMR, and intervention services, C-Innovation also provides support across a broader scope of offshore operations.

These include:

  • Engineering design and procedural development
  • Subsea field development support
  • Survey, positioning, and metrology services
  • Decommissioning and remediation operations
  • Remote and technology-enabled subsea operations

C-Innovation’s teams combine engineering and project management expertise to deliver complete solutions across a wide range of subsea project types.

Single-Source Delivery with Proven Subsea Expertise

C-Innovation positions itself as a single-source provider for subsea solutions, delivering engineering and operational support for complex offshore challenges.

This integrated model differentiates C-Innovation by:

Single Contract, Multiple Capabilities
Clients can access a broad range of subsea services—engineering, vessels, ROVs, and project execution—through one provider, reducing complexity.

Full-Service Project Delivery
C-Innovation has evolved from an ROV provider into a turnkey subsea intervention and project management company, capable of delivering comprehensive offshore solutions.

Global Execution Experience
The company supports projects across key offshore regions, including the Gulf of Mexico, South America, and the North Sea.

Supporting Complex Offshore Energy Projects

C-Innovation’s primary focus is the oil and gas sector, supporting subsea field development, intervention, construction, and maintenance operations.

Key applications include:

  • Subsea field development
  • Inspection, Maintenance & Repair (IMR)
  • Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI)
  • Subsea construction and installation
  • Decommissioning and asset retirement

The company’s integrated approach allows it to support both ongoing operations and large-scale offshore developments.

Expanded Capabilites Through Strategic Integration

As part of the Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) family, C-Innovation benefits from a vertically integrated network of marine and logistics services.

This includes access to:

  • Mission-specific offshore vessels
  • Port facilities and logistics support
  • Shipyards and dry docks
  • Subsea equipment and tooling

This integration enables greater flexibility in asset deployment, improved scheduling, and cost efficiencies for clients, while supporting full project lifecycle delivery.

Efficiency Through Alignment

C-Innovation’s integrated model is designed to improve how offshore projects are delivered. By combining engineering, assets, and execution under one structure, the company helps:

  • Reduce operational complexity
  • Improve coordination between project phases
  • Optimize vessel and asset utilization
  • Deliver projects more efficiently

This approach reflects a broader industry shift toward vendor-led, full-service solutions, where operators rely on experienced partners to deliver end-to-end subsea support.

 The engineering and project management and execution teams at C-Innovation offer years of experience over a multitude of project types. Our projects have included:

  • Flowline and well remediations (including hydrate, asphaltenes, acid and chemical treatments, scale squeeze, etc.)
  • Well tie-ins including subsea tree, jumper and flying leads installations
  • IRM inspections
  • Flotel operations
  • Offshore platform topside scopes
  • Subsea structure installations including:
    • Manifolds
    • Well and Flowline Jumpers
    • Suction Piles
    • Flying Leads (SFL & EFL)
    • Subsea skids
    • Subsea control units (SCMs, CIMVs, chokes, etc.)

The RLWI Team was awarded a two-year contract in March 2022 for continued Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI) services onboard the Island Venture offshore support , a 160-meter (525′), DP-3 vessel is ideally suited to perform deep-water riserless interventions in the Gulf of Mexico.  The award also has a mechanism to pull in other vessels which the client has optioned to pull in the Island Intervention for a year of well intervention work. The contract follows a previous 3 year agreement which began in 2019.  The Island Venture and Island Performer have executed over 25 well interventions on multiple Deepwater wells in the Gulf of Mexico since 2019.

The RLWI team continue to improve performance and efficiencies through the knowledge we have gained over the past five years, executing over 40 Well Interventions since 2017.  The Interventions performed have been both mechanical e-Line and slick Line type interventions as well as straight hydraulic stimulations.  Additionally C-Innovation’s RLWI Team have developed methodologies to perform interventions that have not been achievable from a conventional RLWI approach, such as; Riserless Interventions of sub ambient wells and interventions that have no vertical well access. C-Innovation collaborative approach of our various subsea disciplines the operators and our subcontractors have contributed to our success.

Hear From C-Innovation Chief Operating Officer

Q: What are some of the challenges you and your team have had to overcome in the COVID-19 landscape?

 

A: Working through the restrictions of COVID-19 has required all divisions of our company to come together as a team. The biggest burdens have undoubtedly fallen on our offshore personnel, with mandated quarantines and extended work schedules, and we have spent a lot of time and effort trying to minimize the impact. We are proud of both our onshore and offshore employees for conquering these challenges and recognize the tremendous efforts they have made to allow us to maintain our high standards of service!
