Lithology
Shale
 
Reservoir
Eagle Ford
 
Bottomhole temperature
290 degF [143 degC]
 
Well depth
17,500 ft [5,334 m]
 
Completion size
5½ in
 
CT string size
23/8 in [60.3 mm]

Background
An Eagle Ford operator needed to mill out 21 5 1/2-in composite bridge plugs to bring a well onto production. Schlumberger introduced a 3 1/8-in high-performance motor, which increased flow rate, torque, and milling efficiency. The new motor improved frac plug removal time by 55%, saving the operator 40 hours compared with previous milling operations using 2 7/8-in motors and 2-in CT string. The 3 1/8-in coiled tubing motor, part of the CoilTOOLS tools and solutions portfolio, helped an Eagle Ford operator achieve significantly higher milling performance. This included: 75% higher maximum flow rate 209% higher maximum torque 55% faster plug removal time.
