Customer Challenges
- Equinor had a newly completed well that had been left with a full column of brine during the completion phase. Simulations showed that N2 gas lift was necessary to start production
- The alternative to CoilHose™ would have been Coil Tubing which is logistically challenging, High POB and very much weather dependent
- Equinor had previously worked with Expro and have a good understanding of our CoilHose™ technology and our ability to perform open water intervention from RLWI with a limited footprint and less POB
Expro Excellence
- World’s first well to be successfully unloaded with CoilHose™ using RLWI
- CoilHose™ was positioned at a depth of 2,150 mMD while the well was unloaded over a period of 7hrs
- Expro deployed a ‘hybrid’ CoilHose™ package to work in conjunction with the customers preferred wireline vendor resulting in a fully integrated service delivery platform
- The project was completed safely and ahead of planned timings
Value to Client
- The project duration was significantly improved by utilizing the CoilHose™ solution compared to traditional Coil Tubing
- A reduction in carbon footprint through delivery of an integrated solution
