part of these goals, Total is constantly searching for relevant innovations and suitable partners. Fear says: “One such innovation is the Casing Cement Breaker, which holds great promise for improving casing recovery operations. Te potential of this invention is sufficient for the OGTC to support this as relevant to the wider industry, and hence to enter into a partnership with Total, and DCT, to progress it.
Wells adds that, “Te role of the
OGTC is to accelerate technology development to bring value to the industry. Tis can only be achieved with appropriate industry collaboration, therefore the active participation of Total and Equinor in the development and field trialling of this innovative technology is vital.” Martyn Fear, Total’s Offshore Wells
manager, says that Total in the North Sea is progressing a technology and operational programme designed to cut well plug and abandonment cost by 50%. Similar efforts are under way to
improve slot recovery options, to reduce the cost of recovering incremental reserves without investment in new facilities. As
DEEP CASING TOOLS PROFILED D
eep Casing Tools is a global oil and gas technology
development firm that was established in 2008 and is headquartered in Aberdeen. Its drillable turbine technology provides
a step change in performance. Motorised reaming tools clear obstructions and ream tight holes without string rotation. Powering a reamer shoe at the bit provides maximum
energy and reduces cost and risk. The firm has
sold more than 450 tools to major oil and gas operators worldwide and has several new solutions in development and testing. l
“Tis collaboration now combines the
proven capabilities of DCT in innovation, design and product development; the well engineering, test rig programmes and field trial opportunities afforded by Total; and the governmental backing provided by OGTC.
“Tis brings the best of the industry
together, focused on making the North Sea oil and gas industry a leader in these late life technologies.”
