Project Description

The brine producing well TR-4 was one of the best producers for Nedmag with high magnesium concentration, but the completion string was damaged in November 2016.

The objective of this workover was to bring the well back into production. This was accomplished by retrieving the current completion strings, running and drilling-in a new 7” x 5” completion and installing a new 4 ½” dilution string.

For this project, Well Engineering Partners provided project planning, tendering engineering, coordination, management, and supervision for the project while other companies provided materials and services.

In order to re-complete the well, BPC’s Space Saver II HWU was used. Operations on the well started on January the 9th and was successfully finished on February 6th.
