zonal isolation system
SWELLFIX engineers risk, costs and complexity out of the oil production and allows new ways of increasing oil recovery.
SWELLFIX assists its customers significantly improve their production efficiency-increasing output and decreasing water intrusion. With nearly 5,000 installations to date-under a broad range of land and sea environments and no reported failures-its near failsafe reliability make it the natural choice for zonal isolation.
Swellable Packers Combine With Expandable Sand Screens To Deliver Better Than Expected Well Performance In Nigeria
SPDC (Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria) has successfully combined expandable sand screen technology with Swellfix’s swellable elastomer packers to reduce costs and provide an effective and reliable completion in a gas well in the Gbaran/Ubie field in Nigeria’s Bayelsa State. Over the past decade expandable sand screens (ESS), developed around Shell’s patented expan... Read More

Swellable Packers Reduce Well Completion Costs
Downhole swellable elastomer technology has moved from the lab to the zonal isolation mainstream and offers new options for cost-effective completion design. When a major North Sea operator evaluated the potential of using through tubing rotary drilling (TTRD) to sidetrack a 20-year-old well in a UKCS field, it identified significant cost savings when compared to other solutions. However, the de... Read More
