MADISONVILLE, La., Oct. 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Groundbreaking but simple landing string buoyancy technology provides a new option for drillers and operators to enhance the rig's hoisting capacity by up to 20%. This allows for longer casing runs, can eliminate tiebacks, results in larger wellbore designs, and enhances performance of rigs drilling in ultra-deepwater.
The technology is based on Archimedes' principle and utilizes Trelleborg syntactic foam modules installed onto casing landing strings to produce upthrust. Custom designed non-metallic clamps are used to eliminate the concern for metal fasteners in the wellbore. The buoyancy system is assembled offline onshore, loaded in purpose-built baskets then shipped to the rig.
Benefits
- Up to 450,000 lbs. of weight reduction in the landing string depending on mud weight and water depth;
- The lower hook load reduces and possibly eliminates slip crushing;
- Provides additional safe working margin versus maximum allowable rig load limits;
- Enhance drilling rig capability to simplify complex well designs;
- Potential elimination of casing strings, liners and tiebacks allows for larger diameter completion design;
- Can be deployed in open water;
- $40 Million+ cost savings for fewer casing strings and/or tiebacks resulting in reduced rig days;
- Global availability.
