Expro为沙特阿拉伯提供远程五塞固井作业

Expro 在沙特阿拉伯王国交付了首个完全远程五塞固井作业。Expro 的 Generation-X 远程固井塞发射器 (RPL) 和专有的 SkyHook 固井管线上料装置,使这项复杂的多级固井作业无需进入红区或人工操作即可完成。

五塞分段固井作业是在一口高压气井中实施的,该气井的9-5/8英寸套管下入难度极高,是该领域同类井下最长的套管下入作业。使用Expro的模块化Generation-X RPL,所有五个井下组件均在受控的车间环境中预装,然后在井场进行远程精确下入。Expro的模块化水泥头使作业者能够省去钻井现场的高风险任务,缩短钻井时间,并通过优化水泥注入和有效的区域隔离来提高整体井筒完整性。

该地区的更多部署进一步验证了Expro远程无线固井技术的优势。在一个案例中,客户能够以高达13 bpm的速度通过顶驱顶替水泥,从而获得更清洁的井筒,加快了从套管到固井的过渡,并缩短了静井时间。

Expro delivers remote five-plug cementing operation, Saudi Arabia

Expro delivered the first fully remote five-plug cementing operation in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Expro’s Generation-X Remote Plug Launcher (RPL) and proprietary SkyHook cement-line make-up device enabled a complex, multi-stage cement job to be completed with zero red-zone entry or man-riding operations.

The five-plug stage-cementing operation was executed for a challenging 9-5/8” casing run in a high-pressure gas well – the longest of its kind in the field. Using Expro’s modular Generation-X RPL, all five downhole components were pre-loaded in a controlled shop environment and then remotely launched at the well site with precision. Expro’s modular cement head allowed the operator to eliminate high-risk tasks at the rig site, reducing rig time, and enhancing overall well integrity through optimized cement placement and effective zonal isolation.

Additional deployments across the region have further validated the benefits of Expro’s remote and wireless cementing technologies. In one case, the customer was able to displace cement through the top drive at up to 13 bpm, resulting in cleaner wellbores, faster transitions from casing to cementing, and reduced static wellbore time.
