Archer launches suite of plug solutions to ensure well integrity
LONDON -- Archer Oiltools has launched the SPARTAN plug family, to help operators deliver safer wells, boost operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Driven by customer demand and industry challenges, the SPARTAN plug family has been developed to ensure well integrity during operations, secure well suspension and safe plug and abandonment (P&A) for all wells.
The SPARTAN plug delivers protection for short-, medium- or long-term suspensions, and rapid deployment and retrieval, which ensures safer wells and reduces operational time and costs. In addition to the SPARTAN everyday plug, Archer Oiltools’ plugs portfolio includes three pioneering plug systems – VAULT, HUNTER and SPEARHEAD.
The plug systems include the VAULT dual plug system which enables two Archer plugs to be installed in one run, streamlining plug operations. The SPEARHEAD plug system is designed to withstand increased hangoff loads or pull forces, which improves the efficiency of P&A operations. The HUNTER tandem plug system allows a barrier plug to be run in combination with other downhole tools, due to its versatile design, which sets new standards in operational efficiency, saving the number of trips and rig time.
The SPARTAN plug family is an addition to the existing LOCK plug family of gas tight well suspension plugs. These product lines, designed to reduce rig handling, form the base of Archer Oiltools’ plug portfolio, which is field proven, worldwide, with more than 2,500 runs.
