The revised plan called for running a 14-in. production casing string to planned depth in a 16-in. section of a Colombia deepwater appraisal well. The catch: the 14-in. casing string would exceed 750 tons, and there was no equipment rated for that weight in country. Without a suitable elevator, the operator would be forced to shorten the casing string by 3,280 ft, compromising well integrity and target objectives. https://lnkd.in/g-rVTHgp #TRS #TubularRunningServices #OilandGas #Offshore

The wells were out of service for decades. They were remote and over 12,000 ft deep. The operator wanted to know if a remedial action plan was even worth it. See how Weatherford answered the questions. https://lnkd.in/gxdf2pMf #PlugAndAbandonment #WellIntegrity #Drilling #Completions #OilandGas
