Utvikling av line cutter modul for kutting og fjerning av flat packs utenfor 5.5" tubing.

Offentlig prosjektsammendrag

Axter develops electro‑mechanical wireline tools that allow operators to plug and abandon oil and gas wells without pulling production tubing, hence enabling rigless P&A which enable significant reduction in cost and GHG emissions. Growing demand from operators for rigless operations in 5.5" tubing completions and for cutting flat‑pack control‑lines highlights the global need for this wast application. This project will design, build and validate a line cutter capable of gripping, cutting and retrieving multi-line flat‑packs outside 5½″ tubing. The R&D challenges include developing new gripper geometries and a high‑torque cutting mechanism. Using simulation, prototyping and full‑scale testing under simulated downhole conditions, the project will generate the knowledge needed to deliver a prototype that supports safer and more environmentally friendly well‑abandonment services.
