Region

Customer Challenges

  • Expro's customer had requested mobilisation of conventional coil tubing as a contingency to lift the overbalance cushion in a newly completed well
  • Operations were planned to be conducted on the critical path with the use of a drilling rig
  • Incumbent supplier was not able to provide a coil tubing package within the requested time frame and therefore posed a potential delay to the work scope which would impact delivery of the entire project
  • Expro's CoilHose was fast-track mobilised to provide the required solution

Expro Excellence

  • Expro provided a proposed engineered solution with its latest 3/4" OD CoilHose Light Well Circulation System
  • Equipment was prepared and mobilised to the region within 21 days where a successful Site Integration Test (SIT) was completed prior to mobilisation to the rig
  • Key interfaces with the rig and other key suppliers were successfully managed
  • Expro delivery met the customer expectations and the project continued without delay

Value to Client

  • Overall delivery of the well without impacting the project timeline
  • Equipment was mobilised on a scheduled vessel  which removed the requirement for a chartered vessel that would normally be required for conventional coil tubing
  • CoilHose has reduced complexity, footprint and weight compared to traditional coil tubing equipment which allowed for optimum planning through to operational execution and de-mob
  • Like for like operational timings were significantly reduced and performed with a multi-disciplined reduced POB
  • As a result, the CoilHose operation reduced well over 75% of the like for like operational CO2e emissions
