MaxSeal®
Long-term zonal isolation issues with oilfield cement annuli commonly result from cyclic temperature and pressure loading during the lifetime of the well.
Gulf Operations has developed MaxSeal® to penetrate areas previously inaccessible to conventional cement slurry, such as tight casing leaks, gravel packs, small fractures, channels, or microannuli.
SandBlock®
In sandstone reservoirs, operators often face sand production problems due to the degradation of reservoir rock around the wellbore under high-velocity fluid flow. In many cases, the sand consists of fines which are not retained by stand-alone screens or gravel packs.
Gulf Operarions is developing SandBlock® technology for sand consolidation that will reduce the production of sand, improves oil production, increasing the recovery factor and life of the oil wells.
Robust® ESP
The ROBUST® Electric Submersible Pump System consists of several components that are carefully selected to create the most economical and efficient solution for each set of well conditions.
We work hard to take the complexity out of operating ESPs. By combining the business model that best fits your needs with fully engineered, purpose-built systems and responsive, experienced service teams, we can help you achieve your production objectives.
Well Logging Services
Working with our logging experts, you get access to safe, cost-effective deployment options for logging tools in your most complex well environments—from ultra-long horizontal wellbores with tortuous paths to high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) producing wells.
Get accurate, high-quality formation pressure data and representative fluid samples in one run with our robust sampling service, ideally suited for HP/HT conditions, highly overbalanced wells, and other extreme environments.
Well Testing Services
Gulf Operations offers the advantage of state-of-the-art equipment packages, manned by highly qualified, trained and experienced professionals for all surface applications. These packages are often custom-built for especially demanding conditions. Gulf Operations is equipped to test wells up to 15,000 Psi well bore pressure.
Gulf Operations is a recognized leader in exploration and production well testing. Gulf Operations offers both onshore and offshore testing of wells as an integral part of reservoir management for both new and mature oil/gas fields.
Advantages of MaxSeal® over cement
Particle-free
Where large particle size of cement can not penetrate far enough to create an effective seal.
Low viscosity
Casing damage/leakage with low or non-injectivity can be squeezed and repaired with MaxSeal®.
Superior mechanical properties
Showed better mechanical properties compared to cement, which enhances the long term integrity of the well.
Fast setting time
Save the operator a considerable amount of rig time and overall cost.
GOC’s research and development efforts are focused on solving real‐world drilling and wellbore stabilizing problems for our customers.
Research
Research is a critical thrust area for us because it is the foundation upon which our strategy to create new and innovative products and add features to old products.
Development
As a result of our efforts in research and development we have been successful in developing and introducing quality products faster than our competitors.
