Equipment solutions for improving offshore well integrety topic of ICOTA event
Petroleum Technology Company’s (PTC) innovative solutions for improving the safety and efficiency of well interventions will be the focus of the latest lunch and learn session, hosted by leading oil and gas industry body the Intervention & Coiled Tubing Association (ICoTA) European Chapter next week (Tuesday).
The company's business development advisor, Alan Brodie, will
discuss PTC's technologies, which have a proven track record in
enhancing well integrity reliability and productivity, thereby
saving downtime during processes such as annulus pressure and
integrity management, gas lifting, chemical injection, and jet
pumping.
Mr Brodie will focus on PTC's lightweight, compact (telescopic)
lubricator system and toolkit for valve removal (VR) profile repair
and wellhead VR plug and valve operations. The system makes annulus
line wellhead interventions significantly easier and safer than
before.
Other technologies that will be presented at the session will
include the company's compact lubricator and plug system, used
during Christmas tree maintenance operations, and a wellhead check
valve system for operations in which hydrocarbons are allowed to
pass into the control line.
The lunch, which will be held at The Marcliffe at Pitfodels
Hotel on Tuesday, February 21, will run from 11.45am to 1.45pm. It
is the second in a series of events being held by ICoTA Europe this
year, leading up to the organisation's 7th Well Intervention
Seminar in May.
ICoTA Europe chairman, Rob Grassick, said: "ICoTA Europe recognises
the importance of pushing the boundaries in order to maximise
future oil production. We are delighted that Alan will be joining
us at this event, sharing his technical expertise while helping us
promote innovation and industry accepted practices."
He added: "We are expecting a healthy turnout of members and non
members to discuss PTC's unique technological solutions, and I
would welcome anyone with an interest to come along.
"Our events are a great way to network with some of the leading
figures in the European intervention and coiled tubing industry and
there are plenty of opportunities for stimulating debate."
