Customer challenges
- Auxiliary operation not possible with environmental loading subjecting bending load on the system during critical path operations on main. 24-day top hole operation on the previous well
Expro Excellence
- Expro’s ArticuLock® was used to de-couple the fixed MODU from the hanging conductors and surface strings, enabling dual operations
Value to client
- Up to 317MT of surface casing and landing string suspended beneath ArticuLock® for 75hrs with 4.3 knots of current and up to 53 of significant wave length
- 283m3 of cement slurry pumped through ArticuLock®
- 15kNm of torque to release CART
- Saved 14 days from top hole operations
- Removed the requirement of independent drift running of tubulars and BHAs
