Case Study - Setting & Testing
Global E & P Company Sets Record
For RIH
Setting packers is a regular activity for many E & P companies across the globe. But, unfortunately, so is the reliance on legacy products to perform this operation.
The challenge
One of Europe's largest E & P companies was seeking a new innovative solution to run upper completion with autofill and without back flow, which would replace an existing flapper valve. The new solution had to achieve all this and increase efficiency and reduce rig time.
The solution
A 4.5” diameter Fantom™ Shatter Ball Seat (SBS) was installed into the tool string as it has all the strength and flexibility needed when setting and testing but comes with the benefits required over the flapper valves previously used.
Once packer setting and tubing testing was completed, the Fantom™ SBS was opened remotely without intervention, resulting in genuine full-bore ID and a reduction in rig time.
The Result
New record set for running upper completion with an average speed of nearly 12 jnt/hr. No need to fill tubing and upper completion run without backflow.
