Case Study: Kuwait Oil Company achieves 30-hour rigtime savings with Weatherford’s AlphaV single-trip casing-exit system

Kuwait Oil Company saves 30 hours of rigtime with Weatherford

Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) needed to perform a casing exit in an onshore vertical well while seeking to eliminate a dedicated wellbore-preparation run to save time and reduce operational expenditure. Weatherford International addressed this challenge by recommending its AlphaV Single-Trip Casing-Exit System.

Weatherford's solution combined scraping and cleaning operations with the casing-exit process in a single trip using the integrated toolstring. This approach successfully eliminated the preparatory run, saving KOC 30 hours of rigtime on this well and demonstrating significant OPEX and invisible lost time savings potential for other wells in the area.
