Our latest video of the month displays how EV’s Optis Infinity Hybrid camera technology helped an operator of a gas storage well to successfully recover a complex fish and complete a challenging workover operation.
After cutting the 7 inch casing with a mechanical cutter, the anchors of the cutting tool did not release. An overpull was applied to shear the anchor release pins, but instead the tool string parted leaving the anchor section in hole. The success of the workover was now in the balance, unless this fish could be removed.
The operator needed clear information to recover the fish to successfully complete the workover. EV's Optis Infinity Hybrid camera was deployed on E-Line to provide real time information to determine the location and status of the fish. With 360 degree high definition cameras, the operator was able to evaluate the cut and look for signs of debris that may jeopardise subsequent casing integrity logs.
