哈里伯顿公司引进新的机电井下切割技术

中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油网2019年9月23日休斯顿报道，世界最大油田服务提供商哈里伯顿公司日前宣布了一次资产收购，从韦斯特顿(英国)有限公司收购了一批新的机电井下切削工具和油管穿孔机。这些技术和服务为运营商提供了一种安全可靠的替代方案，可以在从勘探到废弃的整个油气井生产周期中替代传统的管道回收和干预。

机电井下切割组合包括单叶片和旋转叶片配置，可对油田管件进行精确切割。使用实时的井下数据，作业人员可以在不到两分钟的时间内完成单叶片切割，减少了不确定性。

这项新技术消除了对传统炸药和化学品的需求，从而提高了安全性和运输方便。每次切割作业只需要最少的地面设备，以便能够更快地从任何试井车部署地面设备。

哈里伯顿公司负责测井电缆和射孔副总裁特雷·克拉克说：“快速高效部署切割服务的能力对管道恢复非常重要。这项新技术补充了哈里伯顿公司广泛的油井干预组合，帮助运营商降低了建造新井的成本，延长了老井的使用寿命。”

在最近的一次北海钻井作业中，一名作业人员利用机电井下切割服务进行了弃井作业。该技术成功地为每口井节省了1天半的钻机使用时间，大大低于最初的计划。

Halliburton introduces new electro-mechanical downhole cutting technology

Halliburton announced an asset acquisition of a new portfolio of electro-mechanical downhole cutting tools and tubing punches from Westerton (UK) Ltd. These services provide operators with a safe and reliable alternative to traditional pipe recovery and intervention across the well lifecycle from exploration to abandonment.

The electro-mechanical downhole cutting portfolio includes single and rotating blade configurations that perform precision cuts on oilfield tubulars. Operators can achieve single blade cuts in less than two minutes with real-time downhole data that reduces uncertainty.

This new technology eliminates the need for traditional explosive charges and chemicals, resulting in improved safety and easier transportation. Each cutting operation requires minimal surface equipment to enable faster deployment from any wireline unit.

“The ability to deploy cutting services rapidly and efficiently is important for pipe recovery,” said Trey Clark, vice president of Wireline and Perforating. “This new technology complements Halliburton’s extensive well intervention portfolio, helping operators reduce the cost to construct new wells and extend the life of old wells.”

On a recent campaign in the North Sea, an operator utilized the electro-mechanical downhole cutting service for a well abandonment program. The technology successfully saved one and half days of rig time per well—a substantial reduction from the initial plan.
