Nautec has completed its grouting services of the Goodwyn-A (GWA) Platform 4 Flare Tower Legs for which they were contracted by Australian oil and gas company Woodside Energy Ltd. The work was carried out by pumping NaX® grout up 85 meters height using the conventional “bottom to top” methodology and it was [...]
Detailed engineering design was carried out in 2011-2012 for structural strengthening of an offshore tower to accommodate additional loading caused by higher metocean criteria. Project Scope Analysis and design of strengthening for offshore flare tower, Goodwyn A-Platform. The engineering works involved the assessment of load capacity increase by grouting of tower leg using Ultra [...]
In January 2016, SapuraKencana Well Services requested well intervention engineering support from Nautec Energy Solutions to enable them to carry out a riserless light well intervention (RLWI) for a major operator. The well operator’s tubing retrievable safety valve (TRSV) was inoperative in the closed position, presumed to be stuck rather than defective, thus preventing well [...]
Having completed the design of Oil Metering and Prover skids for Yamal LNG Oil Metering System, Russia, as a subcontractor to Emerson Asia Pacific, Nautec received the order from Hai Leck Engineering, a contractor of Emerson, for the design of a portable cabin to facilitate water draw calibration of the prover with minimum ambient of [...]
From July 2015 to June 2016 Nautec was involved in the completion operations planning, equipment inspection and preparation and on-site supervision for multilateral horizontal oil production wells in the Wandoo field offshore Western Australia. The Field The Wandoo field is located in the Carnarvon Basin offshore Western Australia and has been developed with two production [...]
The Scope Nautec provided well site supervision and field engineering support throughout the three well abandonment campaigns. Throughout each activity, regular Pre-Job Safety Meetings and Health Safety and Environment briefings were conducted. Supervision activities included rig up/downs, wireline intervention, fishing, tubular retrieval and cementing activities. Engineering services included well abandonment program review, risk assessment and [...]
In August 2012 Nautec carried out Pumpability Tests of UHPC grout for the strengthening of Goodwyn-A Flare Tower. Woodside Energy Ltd were studying the available strengthening options for the flare tower legs of the Goodwyn-A platform and engaged Nautec to carry out finite element analysis (FEA) of the entire flare tower. The Scope Analysis [...]
From August 2013 to November 2013, Nautec supervised Dolphin Geophysical to process approximately 80 square kilometres of 3D land data for Terra Nova in PEL 444 and AAL 193, located in the Cooper Basin, Australia. The Scope The two-way-time to the primary target is from 800 ms to 1800 ms, to image low-relief structural and [...]
Nautec Energy Solutions (Nautec) was contracted by Senex Energy Ltd (Senex) to complete a review of the remaining conventional hydrocarbon prospectivity of the Birkhead Formation and Permian section of permits PRL-109 and PRL-110. Wells and vintage seismic data were evaluated and interpreted in an attempt to identify channel sandstones and other stratigraphic plays and potential [...]
