Case Study
MECHLOK SWIVELS FOR 18 HOURS GAINING 4,000FT OF SANDFACE PRODUCTION
The Background
- ERD well located offshore United Kingdom
- Screens run into 7,000ft of horizontal open hole, with a TD of 13,000ft and a TVD of 3,000ft
- High frictions in previous wells indicated conventional tripping would not get screens to target depth
- Modelled data suggested swivelling would be required for the final 5,000ft
The Result
- Over 4,000ft of sandface production gained
- 7,000ft+ of screens placed across the production zone
- MechLOK swivel operated for over 18 hours
- Utilisation of the MechLOK swivel above the screens resulted in an average weight gain of over 48klbs
Screen Run - Hookload v Depth
