Expro CoilHose Case Study #1

Unloading Of Two Exploration Wells Prior To Well Test

Expro’s CoilHose Customer Challenge Value to Customer

technology provides a • Well unloading of two exploration
cost efficient and time wells was required prior to a well
test operation
saving solution for well
• The customer had planned both
unloading operations exploration wells to be unloaded
prior to starting well test program
• A full well test package and
slickline equipment limits the
available space onboard
Expro Solution
• Expro proposed our new
CoilHose service as a
replacement for Coiled Tubing to
unload the wells using nitrogen
injection
• CoilHose offers a rapidly quick
rigging time compared to CTU
which was key when planning to
move between two wells
• Unloading of two exploration
wells within 48 hours prior to
well test
• Due to the footprint of the
equipment, spotting and
preparation is done off critical rig
time and in parallel with ongoing
operation
• Operational and critical rig time
was significantly reduced as the
rig-up time is quick and similar to
slickline
• Moving between wells is
achieved within hours as the
PCE is small and can be stored
on rig floor while skidding to new
well

• CoilHose was selected by the

client as the preferred solution
over Coiled Tubing based on it’s
cost saving and track record

• CoilHose package and HCL acid was mobilized to the rig in order
to remove the scale by high pressure jetting and dissolving.
