Well intervention29 Oct 2018 21:39
Just thought there hadn't been much discussion 're what BH may actually be doing.
From the RNS - Under the terms of the MOU, the Company and BHGE will collaborate with the aim to improve efficiency of operations, enhance service capacity and capabilities, and commence in-field drilling and intervention campaign to increase production and recovery of resources in the Taribani, Mtsarekhevi and Mirzaani fields of Block 12 in Georgia.
With regards to well intervention, in can cover a lot of things, perhaps Mole/Devex are the most encyclopeadic of posters that may be able to suggest wells (particularly Mirzani ?) that could benefit from one or other of the different types of intervention??
Defining Well Intervention
"Extending the life of producing wells
At some point in the life of all oil and gas wells, parts will require maintenance, repair or replacement. At these times, operators turn to intervention specialists.
Interventions fall into two general categories: light or heavy. During light interventions, technicians lower tools or sensors into a live well while pressure is contained at the surface. In heavy interventions, the rig crew may stop production at the formation before making major equipment changes.
Well service personnel typically perform light interventions using slickline, wireline, or coiled tubing. These systems allow operators to minimize the possibility of potential well blockages. Operators also order light interventions to change or adjust downhole equipment such as valves or pumps, or to gather downhole pressure, temperature, and flow data.
Heavy interventions—also referred to as workovers—require the rig crew to remove the wellhead and other pressure barriers from the well to allow full access to the wellbore. These operations require a rig to remove and reinstall the wellhead and completion equipment.
Typically, heavy interventions are used to replace parts such as tubing strings and pumps that cannot be retrieved through light interventions. Some heavy interventions are performed to plug and abandon an original producing zone to reconfigure the well to produce from a secondary zone; these operations are known as recompletions."
