When you are operating in challenging offshore wells, pore pressure (PP), fracture gradient (FG), and complex geometry can combine to create a narrow operating window. Numerous operational problems – such as excessive surge pressures, pressure spikes due to pump initiation pressures, complicated equivalent circulating density (ECD) management, and the inability to effectively control drilling parameters – can result in catastrophic events.
Overview
When you need flexible subsea production solutions that evolve as your field conditions change, the Baker Hughes Aptara™ family of TOTEX-lite products has the solution.
Design-driven to maximize fatigue-zone solution
The RL-SFX weld-on casing connector is a modified RL-2HCX designed to reduce the ri
The Ulti-Max SFX is a modified Ulti-Max GT designed as a complete fatigue-zone solution in conjunction with the Baker Hughes SFX wellhead system.
Rigorously tested and cost-effective designsWith lineage of over one million joints installed and counting, our latest weld-on connector, the Ulti-Max™ family is our most rigorously tested solution. |
Crafted under pressure to withstand pressure
Our portfolio of premium connectors and casing includes a wide range of precision connection systems.
The cement sheath that seals your well from formation fluids is, ultimately, an investment in safety and environmental stewardship. In addition to supporting the casing, the sheath offers a sealed barrier that protects the casing from corrosion and underground source drinking water from contamination. Optimized cement systems and automated mixing equipment enable precise, safer slurries that match well conditions while minimizing rig time.
Extreme fatigue resistance
The Baker Hughes enhanced Aptara™ standardized fatigue resistant wellhead solution (Aptara SFX) takes the field-proven architecture of our MS-700 and MS-800 subsea wellheads to the next level—delivering up to 20 times the fatigue resistance of existing systems.
Designed for flexibility
Developed in 2007, the MS-800 subsea wellhead system enables more flexible casing program designs by facilitating the use of larger drill bits, testing packoffs to higher pressures, and providing the options to run 18" and 16" casing strings below the mudline. The MS-800 also enables larger completion options by reaching total depth with a larger production string.
No matter your application, Baker Hughes has the specialized fluids additives you need to accelerate your operations and reduce your drilling risks.
