Introduction to the Project
A client in Saudi Arabia needed a reliable solution to remove composite frac plugs in extreme downhole conditions, including temperatures up to 300°F and exposure to H2S/CO2. The goal was to restore production swiftly, without the delays and added costs typical of challenging well interventions. Full-Metal-Power’s high-torque motor was selected for its durability and power to handle these demanding conditions.
The Full-Metal-Power Solution
The operation deployed Full-Metal-Power’s high-torque motor, engineered to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments. Operating as a rigless intervention, the motor utilized a co-mingled fluid mixture of water, nitrogen, and gel to support quick and effective plug removal while minimizing operational risk. By using a co-mingled fluid, the setup optimized milling speed and cooling, preventing heat-related setbacks that could impede performance.
The Result
Full-Metal-Power’s motor exceeded expectations, delivering fast and efficient results:
- Milling Time: Each plug was removed in under 15 minutes, showcasing the motor’s high efficiency and power.
- Circulation Time: Total circulation took 25 hours, allowing for thorough plug removal and consistent flow maintenance.
- Outcome: Composite frac plugs were cleared rapidly, leading to an immediate restoration of production, reduced downtime, and minimized costs. The motor’s resilience in harsh conditions underscored its value for high-stakes, high-temperature interventions.
Conclusion
Full-Metal-Power’s high-torque motor delivered impressive durability and speed, making it an ideal choice for efficient frac plug removal in extreme downhole conditions. This successful intervention demonstrates Full-Metal-Power’s commitment to providing solutions that optimize production, even in the most demanding environments.
