Well intervention
A new tubing-conveyed tool combines wellbore cleanout with multi-tracer deployment for production diagnostics and reservoir monitoring.
A collaboration between a large independent and a technology developer used low-cost interventions to optimize production from unconventional wells.
The experience captured in this paper illustrates the potential of deepwater riserless wireline subsea intervention capability and the fact that it can be expanded beyond hydraulic-only, simple mechanical, and plugging-and-abandonment scopes.
