Rental Products & Services, Tubular Running Service
and Pipeline & Specialty Services
Weatherford International Ltd will install the special alloy production
tubing and accessories and provide drill pipe, rental tools and
nitrogen services on the Devils Tower field development project
for Dominion Exploration & Production, Inc. The Devils Tower
field is located in the Gulf of Mexico’s Mississippi Canyon,
Block 773 in 5,610’ of water. The anticipated start date for
the Devils Tower completion program is February 2004.
The field will be developed with the world’s deepest Truss
Spar, and will initially support (8) dry-tree surface completions.
Weatherford’s Tubular Running Services group in Lafayette,
LA will provide personnel and equipment for the tubing installation
using Weatherford’s dual completion tools with Micro-Grip
non-marking technology. The tubing strings will consist of: 4.5”
13CR tubing, 5.5” VIT (vacuum insulated tubing), 4.5”
x 2.375” “mud line” dual strings, and multiple
electric/hydraulic control lines run simultaneously and attached
to the tubing strings.
Weatherford’s Houma, LA Rental Tool group will provide the
drill pipe and associated rental tools, and the Lafayette, LA Pipeline
& Specialty Services group will provide nitrogen services for
pressuring buoyancy cans and production riser evacuation.
Weatherford has previously been awarded the production riser installation
for this project. All risers will be installed using Weatherford’s
Stabberless System, a hazard reducing means of running casing and
tubing that reduces costs and increases safety.
Weatherford is one of the largest global providers of innovative
mechanical solutions, technology and services for the drilling and
production sectors of the oil and gas industry.
Weatherford operates in over 100 countries, employs approximately
17,000 people worldwide, and is committed to pursuing the highest
