HOUSTON– West Production Technology AS has received an OTC Spotlight Award for SwarfPak, a technology for P&A and slot recovery with reduced rig time and reduced environmental footprint.

The company says the most revolutionary characteristic of the technology is that all the swarf particles will be deposited and left downhole, avoiding the use of surface swarf handling equipment. Another benefit is that the milling speed is increased.
