Product Line

Customer Challenges

  • A valued client in the Middle East was seeking a remedy for a well with a persistent integrity issue 
  • Another vendor had previously tried to address the issue by deploying a patch, however it was deemed ineffective. This left the client in a precarious position

Expro Excellence

  • Expro deployed our ReLine MNS system, this provided a single all-encompassing solution that not only rectified the leak but also did so with unparalleled efficiency and cost effectiveness 
  •  A true single-trip mechanical system that eliminates the need for a shoe, removing the entire drill out requirement

Value to Client

  • Expro’s meticulous planning, execution and team embarked on this project backed by our cutting-edge simulations, torque and drag analysis. We omitted two runs of drilling out and clean out post setting our casing patch around 48 Hrs by installing a system that does not have a shoe on it 
  • We designed bespoke tools which were tailored to the well’s unique specification 
  • Our ReLine MNS swiftly energised seals in the 7” casing below while anchoring them securely in the 7” casing above. Our tool effectively isolated the 7-5/8” perforated casing which been plagued by a leaking patch. With the patch in place, the well held its integrity and leak was gone 
  • Our intervention delivered the following benefits: 
    • No shoe milling, catered for diverse well configurations offering versatility. The entire operation was completed in on trip, minimizing downtime 
    • Premium elastomers were strategically placed for precise zonal isolation, ensuring targeted sealing 
    • Our post expansion inner diameter (ID) optimization maximized reserve recovery and paved the way for future intervention 
    • Our running tool was designed for an adaptable inner length, accommodating the well’s unique condition
