PROTECTED CASING ON A DEEPWATER WELL WITH MPD
A deepwater offshore well had a shallow dogleg and build that resulted in needing casing protection. WWT installed 576 SS3-658-slim model NRPs. The slim version was necessary for RCD compatibility. MPD was used with 330 psi backpressure.

WWT NRPs Reduce Drilling Torque to Stay Below Limit
WWT NRPs were deployed to reduce torque and prevent heat checking while drilling an S-shaped well in the Gulf of Mexico.
WWT NRPs Replace Steel Protectors in GoM Well
After experiencing slipping and detachment issues with a competitor’s clamp-on steel protectors in a previous section, WWT’s Non-Rotating Protectors (NRPs) were deployed for the 12-1/4” section in conjunction with the competitor’s sub-type steel protectors as a solution to mitigate casing wear and reduce torque
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.
