Elimination of PCL saves 8 days of rig time in Mexico

In an offshore well in Mexico, the logging program included 6 runs. The maximum well deviation was 69° and included a 1000-meter-long tangent section. In order to avoid pipe conveyed logging, which included two latches per descent, significantly longer operating time, and multiple associated risks, the operator decided to convey the logging tools with Petromac’s conveyance system – Wireline Express.

A total of 7 runs were conveyed on wireline – by gravity – and in each occasion the maximum deviation and total depth were successfully achieved due to significantly reducing the tool drag.

This job included a world first conveyance for MRIL-XL and Geochain. Tool Taxis permitted the multilevel seismic tool to be run with 4 shuttles rather than 1 shuttle with PCL resulting in additional rig time savings.

By using Wireline Express the operator obtained an exceptional logging dataset while saving 1.25MM$.
