Prevent Costly Deepwater D&C Failures Before They Happen

Rigscope’s APT helps you tackle critical challenges—saving time, money, and future headaches.

Let’s talk before losses reach tens of millions.

Deepwater drilling and completion is full of risks — costly delays, equipment failures, and safety hazards. A single misstep can waste millions. Debris from poor displacement, RCD failures, and stuck tools can shut down operations fast. At Rigscope International, we can relate. And we have a solution.

Have you Ever?

Have you ever been on a rig that was displacing a well and said to yourself, "That’s good enough," only to fight the remaining debris throughout the rest of the completion?

Have you ever been on a rig trying to frack a multi-zone completion and pulling your hair out over the debris left behind from a substandard displacement?

Have you ever shut down and scratched your head, trying to figure out where you’re stuck during the frack? Could it be the service tool on the bottom, or maybe a tool joint stuck in the annular?

Have you ever heard of trying to over-pull the work string to free up what you think is a stuck service tool, only to find out you’ve been stuck in the annular at a tool joint and parted the work string?

How difficult is it to calculate the correct over-pull without exceeding it when closed in the annular element combined with stretch?

Have you ever tried slacking off the work string during a frack with 6,000 to 8,000 PSI in the annulus? The quick answer is—you cannot without APT.

Have you ever drilled out a plug or cut casing and had gas enter the riser before you could react?

Have you ever thought of running the shallow plug drilling job utilizing MPD via the RCD, only to find out that you shouldn’t have?

APT has performed plug drilling and casing cuts successfully many times without incident.

APT—once located, everything else is precise as opposed to a guess with a closed annular on the work string.

APT has no external tool joint profiles, hard banding, or tong damage that can result in a stack pull.

If you ever need a solution, you may want to inquire about how RIGSCOPE’s APT can solve these challenges—hopefully before tens of millions of dollars are lost. And if not, we would be happy to visit and share so you’re better prepared in the future if you ever face one or more of these challenges in your career. If your career is in deepwater D&C, I promise you will face these challenges.
