DX-WR Tool
The Vortex wireline retrievable (DX-WR) tool is ideal for intervention in a declining well. Run in live down the tubing string (and set in a profile nipple or directly in the tubing using collar stops, g anchors, hangers, etc.), this tool provides the same benefits -- flattened decline curve, reduced flowing bottom hole pressure, reduced surfactant use, and improved production (dependent on the well) -- found in the end-of-tubing (DX-EoT) installations that are usually used when bringing on a new well. In addition, well slugging is reduced and production is stabilized on high-water cut wells. These DX-WR tools are also able to be stacked in deep well applications in terms of gas/water ratios and extends the flowing cycle of a storage well during recovery. The wireline retrievable (DX-WR) tool is also ideal for underground gas storage facilities, where the tool improves the amount of gas recovered. A sleeved version of this wireline retrievable tool (the DX-WR-S) is also available to obtain the same benefits with a tool set anywhere in the tubing string. A real-time video visually showing the flow set up by the DX-WR can be found here. If you’re ready to submit a downhole input form, you can do so here. The Vortex team will run your numbers on its proprietary surface calculator and will respond to you (typically within 48 hours) with a prediction on the expected benefits by adding the Vortex tools to your line. Accurate data is necessary for an accurate prediction of application success. |
