Successful stage cementing operations using Saltel Expandable Steel Packers run and worked in deviated well

Context
We conducted a 2-well drilling campaign using Saltel Industries Expandable ECPs. The client encountered frequent loss zones during drilling and needed to perform both single stage and two stage cementing operations. Packers must withstand the rigors of deviated wells and holes with undergauges when set in cased or openholes. The possibility to rotate and put weight on the well packer during RIH is therefore essential.
Solution
The Saltel ECP is a proprietary expandable steel packer specifically for single-stage or two-stage cementing. SES ECP 7in is a robust, simple and cost-effective barrier providing reliable ground for stage
cementing operation.
- Simple setting process compatible with operator’s current string design and procedures
- Quick installation time
- Suitable for tight spots or doglegs
- Rotation is possible while RIH
- High sealing capability in cased hole or openhole
