Salt: Nedmag VE-5 Well cleanout operations
Project Description
The objective of this operation was to remove a blockage in the bottom of the production tubing of Nedmag’s VE-5 salt well.
The first phase of the operations was carried out in February 2024 using a combined wireline and mini coil unit. Using a jetting tool run on mini coil a salt blockage was jetted away and afterwards the bottom part of the production tubing was cut in order to ensure full cavern access.
Later on, salt blockages re-appeared but after several clean out runs the well was brought back into production.
Role of WEP
Well engineering, planning, writing programs and HSE documents. During operations, SSV and WSE onsite and office support.
