HOUSTON – Weatherford says that its Vero automated connection integrity system has successfully completed 100 runs and 33,000 tubular connections in operations worldwide since its market debut.
The company says that the system is designed to apply intelligence to minimize safety risks and validate well integrity from the wellhead to total depth.
Since its launch in November 2018, Weatherford says that the Vero system has produced the following real-world results include:
* Offshore Qatar: Pulled the completion string in two wells and enabled 75% more pipe to be re-used than benchmark after automating the connection breakout process.
* North Sea: Made up more than 1,200 completion connections while achieving a record run rate.
* Offshore Azerbaijan: Ran seven completions with more than 2,900 connections and zero connection damage.
* Argentina: Saved 24 hours of rig time on more than 1,000 connections with zero damaged in completions for three wells.
* Norway: Improved previous mechanized operational performance by 15 percent, resulting in the fastest liner-running operation on that rig in four years.
* Globally: Eliminated more than 10,000 hours of personnel exposure to rig floor safety risks.
