Well Abandonment
Finish strong with safe, permanent abandonment solutions
The economic life of every well eventually ends. Our dedicated specialists solely focus on safe and permanent abandonment. We use the best tools on the market to supply a rock-to-rock, cement-to-formation bond that meets the strictest compliance standards. Using a project-managed approach, our specialists take you through all phases, from pre-job to contingency planning, compliance, engineering, implementation, and final abandonment.
Our single-source services plug nonproducing wells and reclaim the production slot for a new sidetrack. Working in any type of asset, our conductor-removal teams leverage our Rig-Free® pulling and jacking units to provide cost-efficient pulling, boring, pinning, sawing, and cleaning operations for conductors up to 36 in. After a safe and permanent plug is set, the slot is set for a more profitable future.

We offer a total-systems approach to mechanical cement-plug placement. Anchored by our abandonment specialists, we provide a complete cement-plug package that includes our industry leading top-drive cementing head, dart catcher tool, darts, and a diverter shoe. Our systems enable correct placement of multiple high-quality cement plugs, reduce the number of trips required to set multiple plugs, and avoid cement contamination.

Our conductor-removal teams deliver service excellence for any asset, including multi-wells, single-jack platforms, and mono-wells. Our single-source services leverage our Rig-Free pulling and jacking units to provide cost-efficient pulling, boring, pinning, sawing, and cleaning operations for conductors up to 36 in.
