The platform was located on a Large Gas Producing Field in the Central North Sea. The Wells were beginning to water out and in an attempt to increase production the decision was made to run Coil Tubing Velocity Strings. During the first string installation a runaway occurred which resulted in the shear seals being closed […]
Four existing multi-lateral horizontal gas wells located in the Southern North Sea were initially completed barefoot but production eventually ceased due to blockage of the production conduit by reservoir solids (sand and rocks). To mitigate this problem, 2-7/8” pre-drilled liner pipe made up in lengths of up to 200m was to be deployed on wireline […]
This gas injector/producer well was drilled in 2014 to a depth of 2635 mAH. After the well was completed and tested, coiled tubing was used to retrieve a 5.75” RPT standing valve installed in the packer tailpipe. Pressure differential over the valve was equalized using nitrogen. Coiled tubing was not able to free the valve. […]
