THE CHALLENGE
During run-in-hole on a Permian Basin well in West Texas, a leading operator needed to pull casing due to improper placement of a floatation sub, unrelated to the centralizers.
THE SOLUTION
The operator chose to run 135 each of Centek’s 5 1/2 x 6 1/2” S2 single piece bow spring centralizers due to their strength and flexibility. They also utilized Centek’s 00SO stop collars. All 135 S2 centralizers were inspected after the casing had been pulled and were found to be undamaged, still at gauge and ready for a 2nd trip downhole. They were re-run saving the operator time and money.
THE RESULT
The centralizers, despite going round trip in a highly deviated wellbore, performed as simulated, getting quickly to TD in both instances.
