Case Study: a leading West Texas well production company completes a long-lateral high-temperature well in 12 hours with SLB’s DynaForce TT motor

DynaForce TT high-performance thru-tubing motor saves 2 rig days and associated costs

SLB worked with a leading West Texas well production company that needed to bring a high-temperature well into production by milling 26 frac plugs in a 4,670-ft horizontal section. The challenge was a 340°F bottomhole temperature and the risk of debris beds in the long lateral, which made the intervention difficult and time-sensitive.

SLB used a DynaForce TT high-performance thru-tubing motor with proprietary NBR-HR elastomer to maintain the needed flow rate and torque for the milling job. The well was completed in under 12 hours with one run, the plugs were milled an average of 12 minutes faster per plug than planned, and the operator saved more than 2 days versus a competitive proposal.
