Well intervention firm Interwell has completed a multi-well Christmas tree removal and replacement job for Statoil.
The work, carried out using Interwell’s expandable junk catcher add-on (EJCA), reduced the Norwegian company’s intervention time by around 24hours compared to traditional methods, the company claimed.
Traditional approach requires separate junk baskets to be ran numerous times on top of barrier plugs to catch falling debris, while the EJCA only requires one basket run, the firm explained.
“We strive to produce safe and effective solutions for our clients’ intervention needs and our expandable junk catcher add-on does exactly that; it provides a safe solution to effectively collect debris within the wellbore,” said Andrew Louden, Interwell UK managing director.
