Nexstep to present at SWIPA conference (13-14 March) in Trondheim  On 13 and 14 March 2024, Nexstep has been invited by the organisers of the SFI SWIPA conference in Trondheim to share its knowledge of the recently concluded ‘Joint Well Campaign’ (JWC). In addition, Nexstep will be explaining the qualification process for the use of Through Tubing Cementation (TTC). Abroad, this technology is widely used for the dismantling of wells. The benefit of this method is that it does not require a drilling rig.  TTC   Nexstep promotes the sharing of knowledge, encourages effective and efficient regulation and implements innovative techniques. For example, Nexstep recently prepared a report on the qualification of the TTC technology in line with the current industry standard. During the conference, Nexstep will explain the approach for the qualification and will present the results of in-well testing.  JWC   The volume of decommissioning and dismantling activities is growing worldwide. Cooperation during dismantling activities increases both the effectiveness and efficiency. The positive results of the JWC campaign concluded by Nexstep at the end of 2023 underline the importance of cooperation. This is the first campaign anywhere in the world in which operators have collaborated on this scale in the dismantling of wells. During the conference, Nexstep will explain the procedures, the techniques employed, the lessons learned and the results of the JWC.  About SWIPA  SWIPA (Subsurface Well Integrity Plugging and Abandonment) is a centre for research-based innovation, appointed by the Norwegian Research Council. SWIPA aims to obtain a scientific understanding of the permanent dismantling of production wells and to promote innovative design methodologies.  #nexstep #decommissioning #collaboration #innovation #wells For the SWIPA conference programme, see: https://lnkd.in/dUE6AhZZ

Sequoia relied upon by upstream operators worldwide! Sequoia’s technology is commonly used to accurately monitor size changes to particles found in drilling fluids. The LISST-Portable|XR product allows analysis of particle size distribution and concentration data during the active drilling process, completed at the rig and often under rugged environmental conditions. Dependable real-time data is critical and allows operators to see anomalies in the distribution curve which may indicate a failure or alert them to take-action if a threshold is crossed. Using industry proven laser diffraction secured inside an impact resistant enclosure, the LISST-Portable|XR allows operators to obtain lab quality data in the field, learn more here: https://lnkd.in/grtxadg Truly Portable Instrument Reduces Drilling Costs: https://lnkd.in/dbt8PqAC LISST-Portable|XR now with x100+ faster processing: https://lnkd.in/dbj97qbK LISST-Portable|XR Comparison with Beckman Coulter, Cilas, and Malvern Particle Sizers:  https://lnkd.in/drQyiCyE #LISST

😁 It's time for another #PreWeekendPreview with Oilfield Technology! This week we are looking at an article from our most recent May/June issue, where Di Liu, CNPC Chuanqing Drilling Engineering Company Limited (CCDC), and Jack Wang, Vertechs Group, explore the advantages of integrating smart equipment and wellbore-strengthening technology whole drilling in challenging vertical sections. 💬 "The integration of data analytics and smart equipment stands as advancement in the drilling industry. This case study serves as evidence of the effectiveness of proactive measures, guided by historical data and executed in real time, not only effectively tackling challenges, but also paving the way for heightened efficiency, safety, and future optimisation in drilling operations."

💧 Tackling Lost Circulation in Drilling: Meet Lost Circulation Materials (LCMs) 🔍 Curious about what's escaping your well without a trace? Lost Circulation Materials (LCMs) step in to address severe lost circulation challenges. Tailored solutions include Fibrous LCMs, which bridge larger voids, and Granular LCMs, which plug smaller openings in the formation. By selecting the right LCMs for specific drilling conditions, operators can effectively mitigate lost circulation challenges, ensuring the success of their drilling operations. Choosing materials wisely is paramount in the battle against lost circulation.

📢 OMMICA's Latest Success Story! 📢 We've just published a new case study highlighting how our THPS analysis tools helped a major oilfield in Northwest Kazakhstan tackle iron sulphide issues more efficiently. 🛢️🌍 Key Points: The oilfield faced significant challenges with iron sulphide deposition in their high-pressure, sour system, leading to costly downtime. Traditional iodometric titration methods proved cumbersome, prompting the field scientist to seek smarter solutions. OMMICA's THPS testing kits were selected for their ease of use, clear instructions, and effective performance. Within just 5 weeks, the field team was fully equipped and ready to implement the new testing process. Regular sampling and analysis during pipeline treatment ensured optimal THPS usage and minimized downtime. Feedback from our customers has been overwhelmingly positive: ✅ User-friendly and easy to use ✅ Clear, jargon-free instructions ✅ Impressed both field scientists and upper management. We're proud to support the oilfield's mission to work smarter, not harder.
