Reasons for Interception:

  • Well Control
  • Plug and Abandon
  • Platform Extension
  • Pipeline Connection
  • Production
  • Wellbore recovery

Magnetic Ranging Services

  • Access Dependent – A magnetic source or receiver must be deployed inside the TW wellbore
    • Single Wire Guidance 
    • Magnetic Guidance Tool
    • Rotary Magnetic Tool
  • Access Independent – All ranging must be performed from the drilling well
    • WellSpot
    • Passive Magnetic Ranging

“Access Independent” Interception

  • Well path is designed around:
    • Required interception point (Well Control)
    • Survey management
    • Results of the WellSpot modeling
    • Interception method
  • Interception methods Include:
    • Hydraulic communication via formation
    • Perforation of TW casing
    • Milled window TW Casing (hydraulic communication)
    • Milled window TW Casing (re-entry)
  • Typically used for:
    • BO Control
    • Plug & Abandon
    • Wellbore recovery
