Global well integrity specialist company HydraWell has launched an innovative new downhole tooling solution designed to deliver improved reliability in difficult well conditions.

HydraTyphon™ is the latest in a line of pioneering techniques developed by Norwegian headquartered HydraWell to challenge the boundaries of the traditional methods of well operations.

Combining the benefits of Jet and Cup-based washing and cementing systems, HydraTyphon™ has been designed to improve the efficiency of the downhole hydraulic activity over any other system available. The combined advantages of these two systems reduces perforating and operating costs as well as minimising environmental footprint.

HydraWell Chief Commercial Officer, Tom Leeson said: 
“Our experienced team is focused on developing ingenious technologies to transform well operations around the world. We are always looking for ways to push the boundaries and HydraTyphon™ hits the mark for new advancement in downhole tooling techniques. 

“HydraTyphon™ offers a wide range of benefits, not least offering our clients the chance to reduce their environmental footprint while transforming their well operations.”

To shake up the market back in 2008, HydraWell designed, developed, tested and patented a system portfolio for wellbore applications known industry wide as Perforation, Wash & Cement (PWC®). PWC® technology has the potential to slash the operational sequence by up to six days when compared to the conventional section milling alternative. The increased efficiency benefits help to reduce environmental impact as well as the potential to reduce operating costs by millions of pounds.

HydraTyphon™ is an evolution of PWC® delivering improved reliability for challenging well characteristics including high cement content in annuli, shallow barrier depth and large annuli.  

Mark Sørheim, HydraWell Chief Executive Officer, commented:
“We pride ourselves on being true innovators – our forward-thinking team continually develop our range of systems in response to bespoke customer requirements to support industry challenges.  

“Furthermore, HydraWell regards sustainability as one of its top priorities as we strive for efficiency gains and proactively lower the risk of long-term environmental damage by exploring and developing solutions to support our clients’ environmental savings.”
