WWT NRPS SMOOTH & REDUCE DRAG THROUGH BUCKLED CASING

A deepwater offshore well had a highly deviated and buckled production casing throughout most of the 
wellbore. The contact from pipe to casing resulted in high drag and made completion operations difficult 
due to high set down weight volatility. WWT installed 594 SS3 model NRPs.
