PERTH, Australia — Peak Well Systems, a specialist in the design and development of advanced downhole tools for well intervention, has announced the launch of the FlexiDrift—an accurate, adjustable tool to confirm the minimum diameter specification of well bore tubing with the ability to cover a range of tubing sizes.
Unlike other drift tools on the market that require up to five tools to cover the full range of wellbore tubing sizes, the FlexiDrift is available in three standard tool sizes that can be accurately adjusted to within 10 thous of the desired diameter to span drift diameters of 2.000 in. to 2.750 in., 2.720 in. to 3.750 in. and 3.700 in. to 5.750 in. respectively; thereby reducing the inventory required to run standard toolstring operations.
The FlexiDrift consists of a mandrel with two sets of extendable rails that can be manually extended with ease using the adjustment sleeves to the desired radius of the well tubing. When run downhole, the unique positioning of the extended rails provides the highest radial contact across the widest operating range of required drift sizes ensuring no unforeseen obstructions, debris or damage is present in the well prior to other operations.
Moreover, the FlexiDrift’s unique design allows for sufficient bypass of fluid to enable efficient toolstring conveyance in well fluids. It can be accurately adjusted and deployed via slickline and all other standard industry conveyance methods at the well site without the need for specialist training.
A shear release function triggered through upwards jarring allows the FlexiDrift to retract to its minimum ID to enable reliable retrieval to surface—even when working in highly deviated wells or those with high levels of scale and debris.
“Until now multiple drifting tools have been required to cover a range of well OD’s for any given operator,” Gus Brown, engineering manager at Peak Well Systems, said. “This usually results in increased inventory and consequential increased costs for customers. Peak’s FlexiDrift meets market demand for an alternative accurate drifting tool that offers the ultimate flexibility whilst minimizing inventory and reducing costs.”
Robust and reliable, the FlexiDrift can be run multiple times for multiple applications and, as with most Peak products, it is fully field redressable offering further cost savings to customers. The FlexiDrift can also be supplied with multiple connections to ensure compatibility with customers’ existing toolstring products.
The FlexiDrift is available for both sale and rental from any of Peak’s Technology Centers and Rental Hubs worldwide.
Flexishift
The fully adjustable Peak FlexiDrift offers the ultimate in flexibility, accuracy and reliability providing a full range of drift coverage with minimal inventory.
Deployed on slickline and all other standard industry conveyance methods, the FlexiDrift consists of a mandrel with two sets of adjustable rails that can be manually extended with ease using the adjustment sleeves to the desired radius of the well tubing.
When run downhole, the unique positioning of the extended rails provides the highest radial contact across the widest operating range of required drift sizes to confirm the minimum diameter specification of well bore tubing whilst ensuring no unforeseen obstructions, debris or damage is present in the well prior to other operations.
The FlexiDrift’ unique design allows for sufficient bypass of fluid like any fluted centraliser drift; and is available in three standard tool sizes that can be accurately adjusted to within 10 thous of the desired diameter to span drift diameters of 2.000” – 2.750”, 2.720” – 3.750” and 3.700” – 5.750” respectively. Upwards jarring will activate the shear release function to retract the FlexiDrift to the minimum size to allow for reliable retrieval to surface in the event of becoming stuck downhole.
Applications
- Ensures no unforeseen obstructions in the well prior to well intervention
- Verification of well ID
- Tool centralisation
The fully adjustable Peak FlexiDrift offers the ultimate in flexibility, accuracy and reliability providing a full range of drift coverage with minimal inventory.
Features & benefits
1. Simple to use: The FlexiDrift consists of a mandrel with two sets of extendable rails that can be manually extended with ease using the adjustment sleeves to the desired radius of the well tubing. It can be accurately adjusted and deployed via slickline and all other standard industry conveyance methods at the well site without the need for specialist training.
2. Better extension range: When run downhole, the unique positioning of the extended rails provides the highest radial contact across the widest operating range of required drift sizes ensuring no unforeseen obstructions, debris or damage is present in the well prior to other operations.
3. Robust and reliable: The FlexiDrift can be run multiple times for multiple applications. Moreover, the FlexiDrift’s unique design allows for sufficient bypass of fluid to enable efficient toolstring conveyance in well fluids.
4. Reduces inventory: Unlike other drift tools on the market that require up to five tools to cover the full range of wellbore tubing sizes, the FlexiDrift is available in three standard tool sizes that can be accurately adjusted to within 10 thous of the desired diameter to span drift diameters of 2.000” – 2.750”, 2.720” – 3.750” and 3.700” – 5.750” respectively; thereby reducing the inventory required to run standard toolstring operations.
5. Reliable recovery: A shear release function triggered through upwards jarring allows the FlexiDrift to retract to its minimum ID to enable reliable retrieval to surface – even when working in highly deviated wells or those with high levels of scale and debris.
6. Fully field redressable: As with most Peak products, the FlexiDrift is fully field redressable offering further cost savings to customers.
7. Various connections available: The FlexiDrift can also be supplied with multiple connections to ensure compatibility with customers’ existing toolstring products.
