In Brief

The first OnePatch system was deployed in Europe to effectively isolate unwanted water production

Product Line

Customer Challenges

  • The customer was experiencing unwanted water production from the 2041–2044 m interval. Previous cement squeeze attempts across the perforations had been unsuccessful. They approached Expro seeking a solution that would minimize ID restrictions and preserve flexibility for future well interventions 
  • As a new customer, they were particularly drawn to Expro’s differentiated technology offering

Expro Excellence

  • After evaluating the operational requirements, Expro proposed the OnePatch system – a single joint, rig ready, expandable casing patch. Utilizing the OnePatch provides a safe, efficient and cost effective remedy to achieve zonal isolation 
  • Expro’s OnePatch provides effective sealing of unwanted water or gas through perforation shut-off, making it a strong alternative when cement squeezes or traditional remediations have been unsuccessful 
  • OnePatch only requires one make-up connection before running in hole, saving rig time and operational costs. Its compact, efficient design further reduces expenditure 
  • The system is designed so no personnel are required for deployment, lowering HSE exposure and reducing overall operational risk and logistical burden

Value to Client

  • By deploying Europe’s first OnePatch system, Expro enabled a new customer to achieve effective water shut-off with minimal ID restriction and maximum intervention flexibility 
  • Expro’s OnePatch delivers fast, reliable zonal isolation with minimal disruption to well operations, giving our customer a cost effective, long-lasting alternative to traditional remediation methods. It restores well integrity even when cement squeezes have failed 
  • Maintains a large internal diameter after installation, ensuring minimal restriction and preserving flexibility for future interventions
