These original ideas led to the foundation of Welltec® in 1994.Throughout March 1996, the first commercial Well Tractor® field tri-als were carried out successfully in Norway. From there on, the Well Tractor® technology has changed the way operators plan and drill their wells. Our technology facilitated a step change in the tech-nique of deploying logging tools into horizontal and highly devi-ated wells without the use of drill pipe or coiled tubing.
From the very beginning, Welltec® has focused on keeping the time frame from development and design of an idea to the final commercial application as short as possible, while still meeting the requirements of the Welltec® QHSE Management System. Welltec® has therefore established its own R&D, manufacturing, assembly, testing and control facilities.
At the well site, Welltec® carries out Well Tractor® operations with specialized field engineers. Each tool is preconfigured in advance by our team of experienced engineers to suit the necessary application and other company interfaces, as required.
Lately, our areas of expertise have expanded from conveyance to also include well optimization. For instance, we have developed a series of mechanical services to supplement our tractor services, and this series will expand to include new tools. We will continue to rev-olutionize the well intervention technology to meet the demands of our clients and secure that we are constantly in a league of our own.
Welltec® currently has +450 employees who support the operational activities. Support bases are located in Angola, Azerbaijan, Austra-lia, Brazil, Canada, the Congo, Denmark, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Russia, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E., U.K., U.S., Venezuela and Vietnam. With the rapidly increasing demand for Welltec® services, we will expand our activities with new bases in the future.

Pre-job Planning
WellSimTM is a program developed especially for analyzing and planning Well Tractor® operations. It is an
essen-tial tool when confirming the technical feasibility of the operation. WellSimTM predicts at what depth the Well
Tractor® needs to be started and what pull is required to get to any given depth in a well.
The pick-up weight is calculated along with a recommended weak point. The directional properties of the well, inclination, azimuth and dog legs, are taken into account along with restrictions and casing/hole conditions, fric-tion, when calculating the toolstring and cable drag.

Services
The development of deviated and horizontal wells has been limited by the available intervention methods. Drill pipe, snub - bing and coiled tubing have been the traditional methods of intervention, but based upon the large quantities of equipment needed to facilitate these types of operations, they are sometimes cancelled before they start.
Extending the reach of the traditional wireline is one of the most cost-saving and value-creating technologies in the well interven-tion industry applied in the last decade. This has enabled operators to carry out cost-efficient interventions, which have reduced AFE*
costs and enabled an increase in oil and gas production. *AFE - “Authority For Expenditure”
The original and revolutionary Well Tractor® technology has been
developed and perfected by Welltec®. This technology has become
the backbone of our company’s rapid rate of success and expan-sion. It is designed to complement the applications of both wire-line and coiled tubing interventions. The rapid rate of utilization of our technology across the globe is a clear indicator of its ability to reduce costs and enhance safety within the operations.
The Coiled Tubing Well Tractor® enables a smaller diameter of
coiled tubing to be drawn further out into the well bore, beyond the point where coiled tubing buckles and stops.
The introduction of composite coiled tubing technology, in con-junction with the Coiled Tubing Well Tractor®, opens up a whole
new intervention technique. By combining the two, greater well depths can be achieved.
Wireline Well Tractor
®The wireline Well Tractor® is designed to convey any conventional
wireline toolstring used in the well bore, while pulling the wire-line behind it. The cable and tool friction are therefore compensated
Coiled Tubing Well Tractor
®The Coiled Tubing Well Tractor® is driven by the fluid pumped down through
the coil. This powers the Coiled Tubing Well Tractor®, which pulls the coil
28
Run in Hole Procedures
After the Well Tractor® has been rigged
up over the well at the end of the elec-tric wireline, it descends into the hole in a controlled manner. Due to gravity, it falls freely under the control of the wireline until the deviation of the well reaches a point where friction on the toolstring and cable prevents the string from progressing further.
The Well Tractor® is activated and the
wheels come out of the tool body. The action of initiating the tool centralizes it in the well bore. Once the wheels establish contact with the casing, the Well Tractor®
starts to move forward and deploys the logging tools into the horizontal well bore, taking the string beyond the original hang up point.
Once the toolstring reaches its objec-tive depth, the Well Tractor® is powered
down. It now resembles a passive sinker bar included within the toolstring so the wireline toolstring can be pulled out of the well bore.

Why Use a
Wireline Well Tractor
®
?
30
The wireline Well Tractor® allows logging tools to reach the end of the drilled horizontal or highly deviated well. It achieves this without the need for drill pipe or coiled tubing conveyance methods. It is a tethered, wireline deployed conveyance device, which pushes wireline toolstrings out to the end of the well bore.
With the introduction of intelligent wells onto the market, the need for developing a contingency intervention plan has increased. The Well Tractor® technology is ideally suited to cover this new market with the advent of Welltec’s mechanical services.
Prior to the introduction of the Well Tractor®, methods like drill pipe and coiled tubing were deemed the only feasible ways to access horizontal and highly deviated well bores. These methods require the mobilization of large quantities of heavy equipment and, subsequently, large numbers of personnel. This has a knock-on effect of increased operational risks along with increased time required to rig up and down the respec tive heavy equipment.
Introduction of
The introduction of the revolutionary Well Tractor® has catalyzed a radical increase in the application of wireline interventions in horizontal wells. This increase in wireline interventions has been a major influencing factor in the reduction of costs for intervention programs and also a major contributing factor in the reduction of operational hazards and risks. Furthermore, the safety of both people and equipment is enhanced when applying Well Tractor® technology.
The wireline Well Tractor® also embraces and perpetuates the mitigation of risks associated with environmental impact. It has proven itself to be a key change agent in the quest towards establishing zero emissions and discharges.
The key reason for the increased utilization of Well Tractor® technology has been the demonstration of a clear reduc-tion in operating costs for the oil companies. These cost savings have been achieved due to increases in operareduc-tional efficiency and well optimizations.
Reduction of
32
The electric wireline Well Tractor® is currently available in three sizes:
2 1/8, 3 1/8 and 4 1/2 inch outside diameter. They are optimized for pulling force and speed in conjunction with the downhole comple-tion string.
To provide good communication with the winch driver, the surface control panels are normally positioned inside the wireline unit. They power and control the progress of the Well Tractor® when it is inside
the well. Diagnostic data is also relayed back to the surface.
The Well Tractor® functions with an electric over hydraulic power
relationship. The control, communications and power are electric, while the remaining parts and functions are hydraulic, allowing the use of a modular structure for the drive sections. This makes it pos-sible to change the Well Tractor’s traction by reducing or increasing the number of wheels needed to drive the Well Tractor®, without
affecting the efficiency. The wheels are grouped into sections of
four wheels per section. To increase the pull force of the Well Trac-tor®, it is possible to add extra drive sections. As a result of changing
the number of drive sections, speed can also be adjusted.
The wheels in each section are in line and pumped out with 180 degree phasing, incorporating two wheels on each side of the sec-tion. To ensure 360 degree wheel coverage inside the well bore or open hole, each drive section is subsequently phased 90 degrees to the previous drive section when assembled.
When the Well Tractor® is initially powered up, the wheels in each
drive section are hydraulically deployed out of the tool body. The wheels start to rotate automatically once they emerge from the body of the Well Tractor®. Each wheel contains its own independent
hydraulic motor, which facilitates the rotation of the wheels and the forward motion of the Well Tractor®.

The passive and immediate fail-safe features prevent the Well Tractor® from getting stuck in the well bore with the arms and wheels extended. The arms and wheels will retract automatically when the tool is powered down or disconnected, providing a flush outside diameter tool.

In tortuous or extended reach wells, coiled tubing can buckle and the progress inside the well bore is halted. As a result, the forward motion of the coiled tubing stops while running in the hole. This is based on excessive amounts of friction. The relation-ship between the outside diameter of the coil and the internal diameter of the casing can also result in buckling of the coiled tubing. These common effects in extended reach wells limit the lateral reach capability of the coiled tubing and prevent the coil from reaching the toe of the well.
The fluid driven Coiled Tubing (CT) Well Tractor® extends the lateral reach capability of coiled tubing in horizontal and deviated wells.
The CT Well Tractor® pulls the coiled tubing into the well bore, over-coming the tendency of the coil to buckle and lock up. This allows
for the utilization of smaller diameter coil with less wall thickness or composite coiled tubing, thereby reducing the reel weight and removing the problems associated with crane lifting limitations.
The use of the CT Well Tractor® also removes the need for “stiffen-ing” the coiled tubing with pipe stiffeners. As a result, the life span of the coiled tubing is increased. Economic savings can be derived by using smaller quantities of chemical friction reducers when using the CT Well Tractor®.
For electrical operations on coiled tubing, it is possible to configure the CT Well Tractor® with a mono feed through, enabling real time logging, electrical setting of plugs, straddles and electrically deto-nated perforation carriers to be deployed on coil.

The Coiled Tubing Well Tractor
®
The Coiled Tubing Well Tractor® is currently available in three sizes
- 2 1/2 inch, 2 1/8 inch and 3 1/8 inch outside diameter. They are optimized for pulling force, speed, flow rate and pressure loss in conjunction with the completion string.
The fluid pumped down through the coiled tubing powers the CT Well Tractor®. A turbine powered by the fluid drives the hydraulic
system and moves the tool forward.
The CT Well Tractor® functions with a hydraulic over hydraulic
power relationship. The controls and power source are complete - ly hydraulic, allowing the use of a modular structure for the drive sections. This makes it possible to change the CT Well Tractor’s trac-tion by reducing or increasing the number of wheels needed to drive the tool, without affecting the efficiency. The wheels are grouped into sections of four wheels per section. To increase the pull force of the CT Well Tractor®, it is possible to add extra drive sections.
Chang-ing the number of drive sections allows for adjustment in speed.
The wheels in each section are in line and pumped out with 180 degree phasing, incorporating two wheels in each direction. To ensure 360 degree wheel coverage inside the well bore or open hole, each drive section is subsequently phased 90 degrees to the previous drive section when assembled.
When the CT Well Tractor® is initially powered up, the wheels in
each drive section are hydraulically deployed out of the tool body. The wheels start to rotate automatically once they emerge from the body. Each wheel contains its own independent hydraulic motor, which facilitates the rotation of the wheels and the forward motion of the CT Well Tractor®.
F a i l - S a f e F e a t u r e s
The passive and immediate fail-safe features prevent the CT Well Tractor® from getting stuck in the well bore with the arms and
wheels extended. The arms and wheels will retract automatically when the tool is powered down or disconnected, providing a flush outside diameter tool.

The maximum pull achieved with the 318 Coiled Tubing Well Tractor® is 3,500 lbs, which doubles up to
7,000 lbs in tandem configuration. It is also possible to achieve up to 10,000 lbs pulling force when stacking up three Coiled Tubing Well Tractors for extreme environments. By adjusting the fluid turbine system, the same pulling forces can be achieved when pumping fluid at low pump rates.
To increase the ability of the coiled tubing to travel further within the well bore, nitrogen can be used to create a neutrally buoyant state. A foam type mixture can be used for adjusting the density. By creating a neutrally buoyant state, the resistance to the CT Well Tractor® pulling the coil is reduced and the travel
distance is subsequently increased. Experience has demonstrated that different mixtures have no influence on the pulling force.

Run in Hole Procedures
After the Coiled Tubing Well Tractor® has been rigged up over the well at the end of the coiled tubing, it
descends into the hole in a controlled manner. The injector head controls the descent of the CT Well Tractor®
inside the well bore. The injector head also assists in pushing the toolstring into the well bore to a certain extent. However, the effects of friction and buckling can prevent the string from reaching the toe of some extended reach wells.
Once the toolstring can go no further, when feeding the coil with the injector head, tension is applied to the coil and the coil string is raised up the well. The CT Well Tractor® is activated by pumping fluid or nitrogen
inside the coil. As a result, wheels come out of the tool body. The action of initiating the CT Well Tractor®
centralizes it in the well bore. Once the wheels establish contact to the casing or open hole, the tool starts to move forward and pulls the coiled tubing further into the horizontal well bore, taking the string beyond the original hang up point. When the toolstring reaches its objective depth, the CT Well Tractor® is powered
down. It now resembles a passive sinker bar included within the toolstring so the proposed coiled tubing operation can be completed and the string can be pulled out of the well bore.
Type of Jobs
The CT Well Tractor® works with different types of drive fluids, including drilling muds i.e. water, brine, acidizing fluids, pure nitrogen,
co-mingled nitrogen/water or drilling mud.
With many years of experience, we can perform almost any service on coiled tubing including:
• Clean-outs
• Bleach cleaning & acidization
• Perforating
• Cement bond logging and other cased hole logging
• Plug pulling
• Stimulation and fracture activity
• Shifting sliding sleeves
• Milling operations
• Fishing operations and other mechanical downhole activities
• Side track drilling with coiled tubing - acting as a constant weight on bit
• Hydrate/paraffin plug removal
along with extended washouts in open hole, enabling operators to reach the toe of the well
Tandem configurations can access extreme extended reach well bores

Pressure Drop
The pressure drop is configuration dependent. Changes to the configuration of wheel sections and operational flow rates will result in changes to the pressure drop across the CT Well Tractor®.
Communication with tools beneath the CT Well Tractor®
utilizing pressure pulses has proven to be reliable, despite the pressure drop across the CT Well Tractor®.
This means that the CT Well Tractor® is fully compatible
with logging tools, orientation tools and perforation devices that are initiated by the application of pressure pulse sequences. 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 0 0,5 1 1,5 2 2,5 3

Mechanical Downhole Services
Electric wireline tractor technology hasexpanded well beyond the initial scope of conveying logging tools into horizontal cased wells. Redefining the current use of electric wireline is seen as one of the more exciting areas to develop. At Welltec®, we are
focus-ing on applyfocus-ing this technology and we are viewed by the industry as ground-breaking in the application of new techno logy.
Our mechanical intervention services allow operators to perform the following electric wireline operations:
• Opening and closing zonal isolation valves • Manipulating sliding door valves
• Setting straddle packers for water shut-offs • Setting and retrieving gas lift valves • Setting and retrieving mechanical plugs • Fishing electric line and slick line tools • Removing scale bridges
• Removing debris fill • Removing sand bridges
• Cleaning nipple seats prior to setting straddle packers
• Cleaning sub surface safety valves
• Cement plug drilling
• Removing Inconel and Superchrome isolation valves
• Scale milling
• Removing barium sulfate bridges in dry gas wells
• Establishing flow paths through flapper and ball valves
• Removing downhole barriers • Cast iron bridge plug milling • Composite bridge plug milling • Nipple profile milling
• Removing downhole debris barriers
Designed to apply a focused force downhole, the Well Stroker® anchors itself against the tubing and applies a bi-directional force on the end of the electric wireline. This makes it possible to apply up to 16 tons of force, strategically located on the end of the electric wireline in the horizontal well bore. The benefits of providing the Well Stroker® is that it can provide high pushing and pulling forces down-hole where and when required in order to easily set and pull plugs, shifts sleeves and valves.
The Well Key® is operated in conjunction with the Well Stroker® and is designed to open and close multiple sliding sleeves in a single run. When the tool is run in the hole, the keys are retracted in the body of the tool. The tool is selective and can be activated at a required depth where the keys will expand and engage a nomi nated pro-file. The Well Tractor® conveys the toolstring to target depth where the Well Key® engages the nominated profile, and the Well Stroker® applies the necessary force to actuate the sliding sleeve.
In essence, the Well Cleaner® can be described as a hydrostatic bail-er system that is deployed on the end of the electric wireline. The selective tool can be used to remove sand and debris from the inside of the completion string or to remove debris that has built up on top of downhole isolation barriers. The Well Cleaner® is suited to complement the Well Miller® in scale milling operations. With the
Representing a technological revolution, the Well Miller® has been designed to mill and drill a wide variety of downhole obstructions. Bit designs have been developed to pressure equalize isolation valves and plugs and regain flow paths through isolation valves. The Well Miller® complements the removal of downhole barriers by drill-ing on the end of electric wireline. Other milldrill-ing features include

The different aspects of mechanical interventions such as gas lift valve retrieval/deployment, setting and retrieving mechanical plugs, manipulating sliding side door devices and opening zonal isolation valves have historically been in the domain of slickline and coiled tubing.
By employing the Well Tractor® in conjunction with the Well
Stro-ker®, operators are able to carry out any type of slickline operation
in horizontal wells on electric wireline.
With the Well Stroker®, it is now possible to open and close zonal
isolation valves and sliding side door valves. Setting and retrieving gas lift valves in highly deviated side pocket mandrels is also possible by incorporating the use of a standard kick-over tool. Retrievable
plugs can be retrieved on standard wireline with the use of the Well Stroker®.
The force of the Well Stroker® can replace the use of explosives in
packer setting applications, providing enhanced safety and easier logistics.
Case history: setting bridge plug
The Well Stroker® is the holder of several world records. In July 2006,
the tool was used to set a bridge plug under 300 Sm3/D X-flow off-shore Norway, which was a world’s first. The result of the job was reduced water rates from 2150 to 150 m3/sd. Oil rates were main-tained while water cut was reduced from 90% to 45%.
Why Use a
on standard wireline with the use of the Well Stroker
®Recent developments have shown that it is feasible to perform mechanical interventions in horizontal wells by applying standard electrical wireline in conjunction with Well Stroker® technology.
Since the Well Stroker® was introduced to the market
in 2002, the tool has been used to shift sliding sleeves, change out gas lift valves, set and retrieve mechanical plugs and to conduct fishing operations. The Well Stro-ker® can open and close several sliding sleeves in one run.
The advantage is that all these operations can be done without a rig.
The Well Stroker® is normally run in conjunction with
the Well Key® or a mechanical shifting tool and the Well
Tractor®, which conveys the Well Stroker®/shifting tool to
the desired depth i.e. zonal isolation valve or packer. When the Well Stroker® is activated, it anchors itself
to the tubing using a fail-safe hydraulic system. Once anchored, it applies an axially focused force, up to 33,000 lbs, through the attached shifting tool. The direction of movement is controlled from the surface each time it is activated.
The design of the Well Stroker® is based on the same
fail-safe design that is used for the Well Tractor®.
Should an operational problem occur, the Well Stroker®
is designed to default into safety mode. The anchors will collapse, preventing the tool from getting stuck.

The Well Key® offers the flexibility to run an intelligent shifting tool. The tool provides maximum flexibility in completion design for optimized production and intervention strategy. The Well Key® complements the concept of intelligent completions that do not require intervention.
Case history: opening isolation valve
Anything that slickline can achieve in a vertical well can now be achieved in a horizontal well on the end of electric wireline. For instance, at a sub sea installation, the Well Key® was used in con-junction with the Well Stroker® to open a partly closed isolation valve on electrical wireline. As a result of the operation, full rate production was achieved. Additionally, substantial working hours were saved.
Shifting key
The Well Key® can be fitted with two customized shifting keys, enabling shifting upwards and downwards
The Well Stroker
®
with the Well Key
®
?
The Well Key® is run in conjunction with the Well Stroker®, which applies the required force to shift a valve once the Well Key® has latched into the shifting profile.
When the Well Key® is located at the nominated depth, it is acti-vated and put into “search mode”. Depending on the direction in which the valve has to be manipulated, the Well Key® is pushed by the Well Tractor® or pulled by the wireline until the Well Key® latch-es into the shifting profile.
Once the Well Key® has located the shifting profile and has latched into it, the Well Stroker® is powered up to shift the valve.
When the valve has been shifted, the Well Key® will disengage from the shifting profile and continue in search mode.
When all valves have been shifted, the search mode will be termi-nated. The keys retract into the tool, allowing the wireline string to be pulled out of the hole.
The use of active hydraulics while the key is in search mode prevents the tool from getting stuck in a sliding sleeve since the nature of the key is inactive. The keys on the Well Key® can be configured according to the specific profile, ensuring compatibility to a range of downhole valves.

Why Use a
Well Cleaner
®
?
The Well Cleaner® offers the ability to selectively clean areas of the well bore and remove debris from inside the well. With the latest developments for this system, it is possible for electric wireline cleaning systems to remove up to 500 liters of sand per run from a well (depending on bailer size, type of sand and rig up height).
It is being viewed by the operating community as a major breakthrough in the application of ground-breaking technology, reducing the cost of well intervention whilst enhancing production.
Case history: cleaning on wireline
When attempting to run a PLT in a 90° deviated well, an operator had to cancel the job due to sand production early in the wellbore. The Well Tractor®, Welltec Release Device® and Well Cleaner® PST (Power Suction Tool) configured with 20.5 ft 4” bailer sections were run in hole and successfully recovered 250 liters of sand over the course of 16 runs.

®is the ideal system
Due to the highly modular construction,
The Well Cleaner
®
The Well Cleaner® has been designed to remove built-up scale, sand and debris from the inside of the completion
pro-file. It can be configured to fit specific well conditions, collect specified amounts of sand in dry gas wells or dislodge scale from inside the tubing wall. Depending on well conditions and the application, we offer liquid environment and dry environment cleaning systems.
Areas of operation for the Well Cleaner® are cleaning nipple seats prior to setting straddle packers or picking up sand
inside of the well bore. All Well Cleaner® operations are run on the Well Tractor®, which applies the constant weight
on bit and holds the reactive torque away from the electric wireline.
To optimize the cleaning of different materials and downhole completion items, it is possible to change the type of cleaning head attached to the end of the Well Cleaner®. Cost-savings are obtained as the tool can be configured to
clean even very small areas of the well bore selectively.

Well Miller
®
?
Our milling technologies offer the opportunity to perform heavy-duty well intervention with a light touch.
The Well Miller® has revolutionized technology for the oil and gas
industry as it enables operators to remove downhole isolation valves or barriers by milling and/or drilling on wireline.
Various milling bits, all designed by Welltec®, are available for the
Well Miller®. Welltec® also designs custom-made milling bits that
enable the tool to engage any obstruction downhole.
The Well Miller® has been used to remove isolation valves made of
In new wells, the Well Miller® has been utilized to establish flow
paths through isolation valves, such as flapper valves and ball valves, which have failed to open. The flow paths have been established by cutting out and retrieving a section of the valve that would not open.
Case history: milling of flapper valve
At a platform in the UK part of the North Sea, the Well Miller®
was used to drill a 1” hole through a flapper valve, allowing full injection rates required for chemical squeezes. Total drilling time was 20 minutes, which was a considerable time saving compared to coiled tubing milling.
In many situations, coiled tubing cannot apply the neces-sary weight on bit to deal adequately with scale build-up. Our wireline milling services utilize the Well Tractor® to
ensure a constant, optimized weight on bit regardless of the extension of the well.
The cutting face is specifically designed by Welltec® to
remove the obstruction in the well bore.
The Well Miller® provides operators with the ability to
carry out “keyhole surgery” in their completions on the end of electric wireline. This has a radical impact upon the cost of mobilizing conventional intervention equipment. Depending on the application, the Well Miller® also
fea-tures the ability to pick up the cuttings generated dur-ing the milldur-ing process, which means that no debris is left downhole.
