# [Rigless P&A Operation in The North Sea](https://blog.wellcem.com/news/rigless-pa-operation-in-the-north-sea)

The reservoir section of an old subsea well was successfully isolated/plugged by means of Wellcem Resin System (WRS). The resin pill was deployed through a subsea well head from an Offshore Support Vessel.

Operation was executed successfully and with a significant cost reduction compared to conventional methods.  
   
We will be back with a more detailed case history in our Well Integrity blog soon.
