Completions

Adena Power has joined Halliburton Labs, marking a new collaboration aimed at advancing energy storage solutions.

By combining RFID technology with premium packer performance and exceptional safety valve reliability, gas-lift wells can be operated with the highest safety standards for the life of the well, in the latest advancements in Annular Safety Valves (ASVs).

A unique collaborative approach to completions management demonstrates how working from a different perspective can optimize operational efficiency and improve well economics.

Weatherford will offer its Accuview downhole monitoring solutions with the AlphaVTM next-generation whipstock system. Notably, in 2023, Weatherford successfully introduced AlphaVTM, enabled by the Accuview platform in the North Sea for Equinor.

Far too many companies are seemingly holding back on utilizing horizontal wells to access Enhanced Geothermal Systems and risk missing a golden opportunity to extract heat from the Earth’s crust.

As fracturing intensity continues, operators are looking for additional ways to increase efficiencies. One such solution is automation in the fracturing process. Accordingly, a platform of digital software controls and hardware enables operators to pursue automation, while executing completions safely and more efficiently.

Patterson-UTI expects to hold a minority equity interest in Turnwell Industries LLC OPC, a company recently formed by ADNOC Drilling. Patterson-UTI expects that Schlumberger Middle East SA, a subsidiary of SLB, will also hold a minority equity interest in Turnwell.

The company, serving as operator with a 75% stake alongside ONHYM at 25%, has initiated drilling at the Gaufrette prospect with the spudding of the RZK-1 well.

The acquisition of Coretrax will enable Expro to expand its portfolio of cost-effective, technology-enabled well construction and well intervention & integrity solutions, particularly across the North and Latin America, Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa and Middle East and North Africa regions.

An innovative cloud-based platform was developed to align all disparate data sources from a completions site into a unified, contextualized stream for real-time access, analysis and optimized reporting.

Prime Mapping is a tubular field service carried out before running-in-hole that provides actual casing and tubing data enhancing drilling and completion operations. Prime Mapping can be run on the rig floor or at the yard by Vallourec trained technicians at any time, for tubulars from any supplier. The data is obtained using a portable device called In-Pipe Rover which uses laser and/or ultrasound technology. Prime Mapping provides full-length internal diameter (ID), wall thickness (WT), and outside diameter (OD) map with thousands of data points per pipe, providing calculated ovality, eccentricity, out-of-roundness, bore and metal volume. This actual geometric data is essential for packer setting and cement displacement, and mitigates casing wear while drilling, as it allows operators to optimize their casing and tubing strings before running, thus obtaining higher downhole performance. By performing the service in any field, Prime Mapping saves time, costs, and CO2 emissions for operators who no longer need to send pipes back to UT benches.
