Changes that make a difference

Please join Weatherford at the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC)
in Bangkok, Thailand 7-9 February, 2012, Stand #11.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn more about Weatherford’s integrated technologies for conventional and unconventional applications. Our technical experts will be available to answer any questions, and models of the following key technologies will be available:
Featured technologies will include:

Deepwater:  Reach TD safely and efficiently, while containing costs in deepwater environments


With a track record of success in deep water, we have a breadth of offerings that minimize risk, contain costs and maximize profitability in such extreme environments. These include drilling, cementing and casing technologies designed to enhance safety and efficiency during operations, as well as to ensure long-term wellbore integrity.

Real Results:
  • Gulf of Mexico: Weatherford® LWD System Enables Client to Geosteer Well to World Record Depth of 25,002 ft (7,621 m)
  • Gulf of Mexico: HEL™ Hostile-Environment LWD and Revolution® RSS Enable Client to Drill and Evaluate HP/HT Well, Setting World Offshore Depth and Pressure Records for Triple-Combo LWD Tools in the Process
  • Offshore Indonesia: TorkWrench™ Iron Roughneck Saves Operator 63 Hours of Rig Time and More Than US$2.2 Million on
    Four Wells
     
CBM/CSG:  Assess CBM (CSG) reservoir potential and enhance efficiency across development life cycle

We apply a three-phased process—predict, pilot, produce—and specialized technologies to reduce uncertainty associated with CBM resource development and to maximize ROI.

Real Results:
  • Canada: DDV® Tool Eliminates Need for Snubbing in High-Angle CBM Well to Enhance Safety, Efficiency
  • United Kingdom: Innovative Jet Pump with No Moving Parts Removes Water from CBM Well, Enables Free Flow of Gas to Surface
     
Mature Fields:  Protect well integrity and maximize recovery in mature fields

Our mature-field capabilities focus on maintaining wellbore integrity and
maximizing recovery.

Real Results:
  • Oman: Innovative Pack-Off Device Restores Production in Leaking Well, Saves Approximately US$1.2 Million in Rig Time Otherwise Required for Workover Procedure
  • Sumatra: LOWIS™ Software Monitors and Analyzes 1,150 Wells, Increases Production by More Than 40% in Select Wells
     
HP/HT:  Effectively manage kick/loss cycles and extreme temperatures in HP/HT conditions

We offer drilling hazard mitigation (DHM) services to identify and overcome issues, such as high pressure and high temperature, that can undermine your efforts to meet
drilling objectives.

Real Results:
  • Offshore Egypt: Weatherford's Microflux® Control System and Client's Near-Balanced Drilling Technology End Kick/Loss Cycles to Enable Drilling Of HP/HT Well to TD—After Five Previous Attempts Had Failed
  • Indonesia: First Offshore Application of Microflux System for MPD and Early Kick Detection Drills Deepest HP/HT Well
