Case Study
SC-XP frac pack system reduced offshore operational risks, saved rig time
Jun 23, 2020
Overview
Challenges
- Provide a simpler and cost efficient sand control solution in comparison to conventional sand control methods used by the operator
- Avoid unnecessary trips to run and retrieve plugs via wireline
Results
- Completed the well on time with zero NPT
- Saved substantial rig time in deep water offshore environment
- Minimized the number of the crossover tool working positions: run-in, treatment, and reverse
- Reduced installation risks
Case study details
A customer in Egypt wanted a sand control solution for a deepwater offshore field development. Conventional sand control methods were not cost effective and posed significant risks during installations because of the complexity of the tools. As a result of the tool limitations, these installations required significant time.
To overcome these challenges, the customer reached out to Baker Hughes for a solution. Baker Hughes recommended the SC-XPTM Prime gravel- and frac-packing system. The SC-XP frac-pack system provides a versatile, cost effective, and efficient sand control solution for multiple applications via a single platform. In addition to featuring the robust SC-XP setting tool, crossover tool, and shifting tool, the system leverages proven packer and frac-pack extension technology.
