Suspending a Well
Well Suspension Tools Ltd.’s line of tools means well suspension can now be performed with less cost due to increased efficiency and improved safety. Wells can be suspended then re-activated when operational or economic conditions dictate.
Improperly shut-in wells can leak contaminants – crude oil, methane and/or formation water. Eliminate leaks permanently without having to remove the rods, simply add a C tool and ball valve – needle valve combination.
The WST line of tools will change the way suspension operations are conducted for rod pumped wells. The WST suspension is SUPERIOR because the operations and final well state are:
- environmentally responsible;
- cost effective;
- safer; and,
- regulatory compliant (depending upon jurisdiction).
Well Suspensions Using WST Tools Enables the Operator To:
- quickly shut in wells adjacent to a frack operation – and just as quickly get it back on production.
- reduce shut down costs, (minimize inspections, reduce road/wellsite maintenance, suspend power to site, recycle generators, etc.).
- inhibit or treat the well bore by means of forward or reverse circulation through the tool and allowing for proper well bore treatments and/or inhibition using proper chemicals such as H2S scavengers, de-scaling chemicals, paraffin wax inhibitors and/or solvents, corrosion inhibitors, etc.;
- protect downhole assemblies since the pump and rod string are left suspended in the well (therefore not subject to corrosion, degradation, transportation costs, handling wear/damage, or theft);
- enhance recovery, as over time reservoir pressure can re-charge and enable greater oil recoveries;
An even greater advantage with a WST suspension is the cost savings achieved during reactivation! Operational requirements are reduced, therefore costly services are minimized. The rods and pump assembly are already place, ready to be employed. Your protected assets/reservoir are ready to be utilized for maximum value.
Leaving rods hanging within the well bore of a suspended well will reduce rig time, decreasing expenses.
These tools allow for a well to be suspended and re-activated at any time – hours, days, or years later. Prevent leaks of gas, oil, water and H2S.
