Case Study PTTEP Gas Lift Straddle Conversion Restores Oil Production
Rigless three-run slickline operation achieves production and economic goals, Gulf of Thailand.
Dependable, proven well barrier and isolation technologies
Reliable flow control depends on the quality of the sealing elements in the downhole equipment that is used to isolate one zone from another. The fluid type, well temperature, and pressure must all be considered—alongside well completion, regulatory requirements, and retrievability—when selecting the appropriate tools and equipment to deploy on slickline, wireline, tractor, coiled tubing, or drillpipe.
To address these challenges, SLB provides the SIM™ sealing integrity management system, which includes mechanically set retrievable bridge plugs, permanent plugs, and straddles that are simple and reliable. The SIM system is complemented by a set of Peak Family™ flow control and well intervention tools that are regularly deployed as part of the downhole assembly.
SIM plugs include a wide range of slickline-conveyed and recoverable devices for effective flow control. These plugs and the tools for installing them are extensively qualified to different grades and can be used to provide a well barrier anywhere in the tubing, without the need for a nipple profile.
Adaptable SIM plugs work well for many different applications, including
