The C-Kore Subsea TDR unit verified the down-hole connections and cables, providing quick and accurate information on the location of anomalies. The information gained would be difficult or impossible to measure using traditional testing methods and allows the operator to learn lessons for future well installation campaigns.
C-Kore Systems has a range of subsea testing tools used globally by operators and contractors on both fault-finding operations and new installation campaigns. The tools perform rapid subsea measurement, saving customers money by reducing the vessel time needed to perform subsea testing. The autonomous units also require no extra personnel offshore.
A Subsea Engineer from the Australian operator commented, “We were very pleased how the Subsea TDR units worked. After initial testing of equipment in our workshop, we deployed on multiple offshore mobilizations to test several subsea wells. The detail in the results was better than we anticipated, giving very accurate information. For future drilling campaigns we would like to use the Subsea TDR units to get baseline readings on all our wells.”
Greg Smith, General Manager of C-Kore commented further, “As downhole testing is a new application for our technology, we were delighted with the high-quality results our customer obtained. We have designed the units to be easy to use but very versatile, enabling our customers to use our tools in new scenarios but still without any C-Kore personnel offshore. We’re very pleased to build such a strong working relationship with our customer and look forward to assisting them further in the future.”
