An Aberdeen firm which makes tools for well-bore cleaning and well abandonment has announced a milestone for its CX-2 bridge plug.
Coretrax said its CX-2 versatile tool, suited to multiple applications in the oilfield, including temporary and zonal isolations, was set for the 200th time as part of an ongoing abandonment campaign for an oil major operating in the North Sea.
The technology has achieved a strong track record in a variety of different installation types since it was launched on the market in 2012, the firm said.
Coretrax global business development director John Fraser added: “We started this (latest) project, with a global operator, in 2017 for a five-year well abandonment campaign.
“The running of our 200th bridge plug is not only a fantastic achievement and a huge milestone for Coretrax, but it also highlights the reliability and effectiveness of the tool.
“As the number of well abandonment operations increases in the North Sea, so does the requirement for efficient and efficient products.
“The slick design and versatility of the CX-2 makes it an ideal solution for cementing operations.”
