In all well stages, slot cutting services are critical and required for enabling through-tubing pressure equalization, fluid circulation, and production enhancement for sand-screen-completed wells. A high number of cuts may be required in a wide variety of casing types, grades, and potentially extreme downhole conditions. Customized for a slot cutter application, the ReSOLVE iX extreme-performance instrumented wireline intervention service expands the operational capacity of downhole cutting and perforating methods for increasingly complex well designs.
The award-winning slot cutter is the latest addition to the ReSOLVE iX extreme-performance instrumented wireline intervention service family of downhole powered well intervention tools—developed by our advanced application engineering team within 9 months from concept to job execution. The slot cutter is a more efficient and safer solution compared with explosive tubing punchers or other mechanical punchers. Compared with explosive tubing punchers, the slot cutter eliminates the logistic and HSE challenges of handling and shipping explosives. Customizable per operation, it leverages a scissor opening assembly that uses a rotatable cutting blade on one arm and a fixed anchor to provide the necessary stability on the other. It can cut up to 200 slots per descent and is up to 60% faster than conventional mechanical methods.
The ReSOLVE iX service slot cutter configuration is extremely versatile, enabling the combination of up to eight slot cutter sections, up to eight cuts per station, and multiple stations per run with a wireline footprint. It is seamlessly combinable with other intervention services, including logging, cleaning, cutting, and milling, as well as other mechanical intervention and production logging tools for condensing multiple operations in one run.
