Deep Casing Tools deploys first system In Iraq

ABERDEEN, Scotland -- Casing and completion tool specialist Deep Casing Tools has continued its Middle East expansion with a successful deployment of its unique drillable turbine technology in Iraq.

The company’s 7-in. Turbocaser Express high-speed reaming system was deployed recently for a client who had experienced previous liner running issues. The Turbocaser Express reamed through multiple problematic areas overcoming reactive shale and limestone stringers. Following a successful cement program, the Turbocaser Express was drilled out with a PDC bit and the next section was drilled during the same run.

Deep Casing Tools’ technologies provide significant well construction risk reductions. Offering the ability to ream while running in, the Turbocaser Express enables the run while the hole is in optimal condition, eliminating wiper trips and open hole exposure time.

John Rider, V.P. for Deep Casing Tools, said, “Despite the market downturn, Deep Casing Tools continues to expand in existing and new territories. The value delivered by our innovative products to our clients in the drilling and completions sector is clear.”
