HYDRATIGHT LAUNCHES NEW TOOLS FOR WELL COMPLETION ACTIVITIES


Hydratight has unveiled its External Casing Cutter (ECC) and Internal- External Casing Cutter (IECC) tools to allow customers to work above and below wellheads.


The tools will be used in well completion activities by drilling contractors, decommissioning specialists, valve OEMs and service providers.


The ECC and the IECC are backed up by the company’s technical support.


The ECC is equipped with a bi-directional drive, a low-profile motor and mount configuration, and can be inverted for flush mount applications. The drive motor can be adjusted if obstructions are present. It covers pipe sizes from 3.2” (114.3mm) to 32” (812.8mm).


The IECC attaches to Hydratight’s NB clamshell and can internally sever and bevel for a variety of applications. The tool’s spark-free cutters offer increased safety by eliminating the need for flame cutting.

Simon Renwick, Director of infinity offshore, added: “We are excited about the long term potential of this enterprise and believe that the ADS will be a great asset to our clientele in the Australasia marketplace, drawing upon both the proven technology and professional expertise of both companies.”

years to perform IMR on offshore oil and gas structures.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER ANNOUNCED FOR DECOM OFFSHORE 2017


Decom North Sea, the membership organisation for the oil and gas decommissioning sector, has announced Chris Cox, Managing Director of Centrica’s Exploration & Production business, as keynote speaker for its flagship conference and exhibition, Decom Offshore 2017.


This year’s annual conference, entitled “Challenging the Norm”, is principally sponsored by Bureau Veritas UK and takes place on 24 May at Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre.


With over 30 years’ extensive experience in global oil and gas upstream activities, Chris has also held a number of senior roles at BG Group plc and a variety of international technical, commercial and management roles with both Amerada Hess and Chevron Corporation.


Outlining his vision for North Sea decommissioning, his keynote address will explore a number of themes, including: risk-based and total cost approach to optimal timing; collaboration between regulators; industry bodies and operators to establish fit-for- purpose work scopes, and the urgent


need for the supply chain to focus on solutions and delivery models that can support and collaborate with operators to manage their decommissioning activities and costs.


This annual, sell-out event has gained a reputation for providing unrivalled learning and networking opportunities for the expected 400 delegates. This year, the programme is keenly focused upon the current opportunities available in the late life and decommissioning sector, for all levels of the supply chain.


In addition to plenary sessions, interactive break outs and over 30 exhibitors, Decom Offshore 2017 introduces One-to-One sessions, with a particular emphasis upon supply chain export opportunities via engagement with Decom North Sea’s board of directors and other strategic partners.


Delegate bookings are now open for Decom Offshore 2017.
