Case Study Autonomous Milling of Isolation Valve Doubles Production
Tractors deploy and power wireline milling tool from light well intervention vessel.
The wireline powered intervention services family expands the operating envelope in well intervention by seamlessly integrating ReSOLVE Family instrumented wireline intervention services with StreamLINE iX extreme-performance polymer-locked wireline cable, TuffTRAC cased hole services tractor, and TuffTRAC iX extreme-performance wireline tractor. From completion accessory milling, wellbore fill or deposits removal, shifting, and fishing to plug setting and more, applications are unlimited and made possible by a wide range of cutting-edge hardware.
Now available in two sizes, the 3 1/8-in ReSOLVE instrumented wireline intervention service and 2 1/8-in ReSOLVE iX extreme-performance instrumented wireline intervention service can be adapted to meet your objectives and maximize intervention impact. ReSOLVE iX service capabilities are uncompromised by its size and enable intervention in extreme conditions, such as complex completions with small restrictions and sour and HPHT environments.
Well intervention is often associated with risks and uncertainties. The advanced hardware of both ReSOLVE and ReSOLVE iX services, powered with instrumentation, provide real-time downhole intelligence to overcome intervention challenges and reduce risks. Both services enable you to monitor and understand your intervention progress as it happens so you can act quickly to address any unexpected downhole challenge. This eliminates the reliance on estimates and assumptions that is typical with conventional intervention methods.
Sensors incorporated in all ReSOLVE Family services enable the engineer to monitor tool response and the progress of downhole operations while responsively controlling the tool for optimal performance. Both ReSOLVE and ReSOLVE iX services combine monitoring and control of more than 200 real-time downhole measurements to deliver an intelligent wireline solution that greatly increases the success of your intervention. All downhole measurements are visualized on an intuitive dashboard, making operation control easier than ever.
The success of intervention can depend on what happens in milliseconds. ReSOLVE Family services are engineered further with downhole automation to deliver the best outcome. Tools react faster to changing downhole conditions through the instrumentation of more than 40 downhole automation sequences, such as stroking, opening anchors, managing motor and voltage, milling, and many more.
ReSOLVE Family services comprise the ReSOLVE instrumented wireline intervention service for regular 3 1/8-in OD applications and ReSOLVE iX extreme-performance instrumented wireline intervention service for more complex, 2 1/8-in OD applications.
