No time to lose: HP rotary jetting tool aids in deepwater operation

摘要

Hydrates forming in subsurface tree offshore Brazil put scale-removal service to test. Hydrates - ice-like structures that form when water and natural gas combine in high-pressure (HP), low-temperature conditions and block the wellbore - are one of the most common challenges in exploratory deepwater wells. The phenomenon is especially prevalent in presalt environments such as Brazil, where the water depth and temperatures at the seafloor cause gas to generate hydrates during drilling or well-testing operations.
