This video of the month comes from an operation in Trinidad & Tobago, where an operator utilised EV’s Optis technology to help evaluate the integrity and function of a Surface-controlled Subsurface Safety Valve (SCSSSV) in their gas well.
The safety valve in the 7-inch tubing was leaking. Several inflow tests were performed and confirmed the leak rate exceeded the operator’s integrity standards. With the integrity of the well at risk, the operator needed a complete understanding of the situation downhole.
A decision was made to perform slickline runs to help diagnose any issues and resolve them by either reinstating the existing valve, installing an insert valve, or isolate and workover the well.
EV’s Optis M125 Camera was run on Slickline with downview footage acquired to inspect the safety valve operation and evaluate the overall integrity. Watch the video or download the PDF Case Study to find out more.
