Vertical Oilfield Services (VOS), our esteemed service delivery partner in Oman, recently achieved a significant milestone in well completion.

Project Overview

Objective:

  • Perform real-time orientations of perforating guns in a challenging high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) environment.

Challenge:

  • Safeguard the fiber optic cables on the outside of the casing during perforation.

Solution:

  • Leveraging Icefield Energy advanced gyro systems for precise toolface alignments.

Key Achievements:

  • Accurate Orientations: VOS successfully utilized advanced gyro systems to ensure precise toolface alignments. The perforating guns were oriented 180 degrees opposite to the position of the fiber optic cable.
  • Cost Savings: By avoiding damage to the fiber optic cable, VOS prevented the need for a costly recompletion of the well.

Results:

  • Eight zones were successfully perforated without compromising the cable or risking downtime.
  • Icefield Energy solid-state CVG gyro tool performed flawlessly, demonstrating reliability and efficiency.
