As the energy industry evolves, efficient and environmentally responsible practices in well abandonment and slot recovery have become increasingly crucial. Deep Casing Tools is at the forefront of this evolution, with innovative solutions designed to meet the industry’s demands. Among these cutting-edge technologies is the Rubblizer tool, a solution that is revolutionising sustainable plug and abandonment and slot recovery activities.
The Challenge of Well Abandonment and Slot Recovery
Well abandonment and slot recovery are essential processes in the lifecycle of oil and gas wells. As fields mature and wells reach the end of their productive life, it becomes necessary to safely and effectively seal these wells to prevent any environmental hazards. Traditionally, these processes have been labour-intensive, time-consuming, and costly, often involving complex milling and section milling operations to remove casing and prepare for well abandonment.
In slot recovery, the challenge lies in removing sections of the casing to allow for the installation of new, larger casings or liners to extend the life of the well. This requires precise and reliable tools to minimise the impact on the surrounding formations while ensuring the integrity of the operation.
Introducing the Rubblizer Tool
The Rubblizer tool is designed to address these challenges head-on. It is engineered to deliver a faster, safer, and more efficient approach to section milling and well abandonment. Its winning technology is transforming both plug and abandonment and slot recoveries, improving the efficiency and predictability of cut and pull, perf and wash and perf and squeeze operations.
Using simple pressure and rotation to manipulate existing casing strings, the Rubblizer breaks the bond between cement and casing, rubblizing the cement behind the casings. This makes removing casing quicker and more efficient, avoiding the need for costly milling operation and subsequent lost time issues, guaranteeing pulling success rates.
The Rubblizer can be partnered with existing technologies to enhance their plug and abandonment capabilities. It can be used to complement existing cutting, pulling and jacking technology to reduce cost and uncertainty when removing casing. It also proves to be an excellent addition to perf, wash and plug technology, it raises success rates and assures wash for post-job cement integrity.
Key Benefits of the Rubblizer Tool
- Greater efficiency and success rates compared to conventional cut and pull and perf and wash operations.
- Enables longer sections of casing to be pulled reducing time and trips in and out of hole.
- Enables predictable perf and wash and reliable perf and squeeze operations.
- Avoids the need for costly milling operation and subsequent lost time issues.
- Compliments current tool offerings for Fishing/P&A/Slot Recovery Service Providers.
- Does not transmit any shocks and vibrations up-hole.
- Simple to operate.
