WWT JetReam Succeeds in the Permian

Operator Identifies WWT JetReam as a Solution After History of Difficult Casing Runs in the Area.

 Well Basics

• Horizontal well with 9-5/8” casing set at bottom of vertical section.

• Target depth approx. 8,900ft.

 • JetReam set up to open centerline at 13bpm (550gpm).

• History of difficult formation and wellbore stability problems frequently results in casing-running difficulty.

 

JetReam in Action – Running Casing

· The operator has tried numerous guide shoes and reamer shoes without finding an ideal solution.

· The WWT JetReam was called out after the operator expected difficulties in running 9-5/8” casing.

· Clean run to 7,300ft, then casing started taking weight due to formation.

 

 JetReam in Action – Reaming

 · JetReam effectively reamed through approx. 400ft and10hrs+ of hard reaming with 10 to 30klbs WOB.

 · Customer reported that the JetReam appeared to be just as effective as other more ‘aggressive’ reamer shoes.

 · JetReam continued with jetting and occasional reaming to TD.

· Successful casing run. Reamer and jetting feature effective throughout the run.

 

JetReam in Action - Cementing & Drill-out

· Customer converted centerline at pre set flow rate for cementing.

 · Drill out was reported to be much faster and easier than competing reamer shoes that have been run on these wells.
