The reason for Packers are to isolate leakage in the casing. This creates the issue of all of the gas flowing through the pump. The challenge of Pumping under Packer stems from recurring leaks that conventional remedies struggle to control. The presence of casing and tubing inadvertently creates a pathway for leakage, disrupting pumping operations. This interruption, often leading to well abandonment, has significant economic implications.
Frequent abandonment of wells due to uncontrollable leaks through the casing poses a persistent challenge in the industry, necessitating costly squeeze jobs to address these issues and maintain pumping operations.
The challenge of pumping under packer arises primarily from the recurring problem of leaks that defy conventional remedies, often leading to the abandonment of otherwise productive wells. In such cases, the presence of casing and tubing for liquid pumping becomes a double-edged sword, as it inadvertently provides a pathway for leakage through the casing. This intrusion disrupts pumping
operations, making it necessary to cease production, and this interruption in flow can have significant economic implications.
Traditionally, the response to these leaks has been the costly and resource-intensive practice of squeeze jobs. Each of these interventions, which can run up to $50,000, involves various methods to mitigate the intrusion and restore efficient pumping. While squeeze jobs may offer temporary relief, they often prove to be recurring expenses that strain operational budgets and reduce overall profitability.
The DARTT Valve provides a viable solution to the enduring challenge of uncontrollable leaks. By allowing controlled flow through the pump system, it eliminates the need for expensive squeeze jobs. This breakthrough technology not only ensures the longevity of well operations but also reduces the financial burden associated with frequent interventions, marking a pivotal shift in well maintenance practices. With the DARTT Valve, wells can continue operating efficiently, delivering sustained productivity and profitability while minimizing the risk of abandonment.
