WARRINGTON, UK – BiSN has deployed its tubing seal Wel-lok M2M TS EXD solution in a well in Azerbaijan.

This was run and set in the well via telecoil – another first for the company – to allow the operator to isolate a producing zone in order to perforate and produce a new zone higher in the well.

BiSN CEO Paul Carragher said: “Our tools are typically set on electric line as we need the electrical current to activate our unique thermite heater.

“However, for highly deviated wells it is difficult to get the tools past the deviation as you rely on gravity to get them to depth – and the more deviated it is the less gravity helps.

“Using telecoil allowed us to push the tool into the well without relying on gravity, while still supplying the electricity needed to set our tool.”
