WWT NRPs Protectors Provide Casing Protection at Sidetrack
A Gulf of Mexico well required 14’’ casing protection at an 8°/100ft sidetrack. WWT installed 378 HD-SS3-658-slim model NRPs at 2 per joint due to excessive side force. The slim version was necessary for RCD compatibility, stripping NRPs out of hole with 350 psi backpressure. Due to excessive tar, a bypass section was also drilled and TD of 29,850 ft was successfully reached. Approximately 50 NRPs went into the open hole salt formation to protect the sidetrack point throughout both bit runs.
