Our Solution
In the oil and gas industry, drilling into the earth to collect resources from reservoirs within the ground is a common practice. Often, and for various reasons, the drill string becomes stuck downhole. Stuck pipe situations prevent the drill rig from continuing operations, resulting in costly downtime. Therefore resolving the problem as quickly as possible is critical.
​
Currently, there exists a lack of industry-wide standards for pipe recovery. Poor well-control during wireline intervention can lead to disaster. Many Health, Safety & Environmental (HSE) incidents are caused by a lack of control over the well, torque release and possible spillages while wireline operations take place.
​
Additionally, operators are presently unable to safely pull and/or rotate the bottom hole assembly during pipe recovery operations using traditional wireline methods. This means that, amongst other effects, the wireline must be removed before the result of freeing the stuck pipe is known. Also, the use of additional equipment, such as long bails, pump-in sub and exposed high-pressure mud lines are currently required for pipe recovery. Further, there are a number of control issues with High-Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) wells with the current under-designed wireline intervention solutions.
​
The SMART SUB attempts to overcome at least in part the aforementioned disadvantages of previous wireline intervention apparatus and techniques.
About Us
Advanced Well Technologies (AWT) provides a full offering of Smart Technologies with purpose-designed tooling and exclusive services for best in class field support.
We work closely with our clients from concept through delivery - offering solutions dedicated to maximising equipment output and efficiency while reducing rig time, costs and HSE risks.
"SMART SUB is a new solution which is compact, light and easy to operate. It also allowed accurate wireline depth measurement with an active compensation system."
"The SMART SUB was used for pipe recovery and was a successful run that showed the distinction between conventional and SMART SUB rig-up. I am thankful for your team's support and look forward to future opportunities. "
