POLY-TECTOR™ Withstands 100,000lb Force

During a recent installation in Oman, the Poly-Tector™ Cable Protector (patent pending) was put through a severe test. The operator was deploying 6,000ft of 2 7/8” tubing into a 6” open hole, which had been untouched for 8 years. Unfortunately the operator did not perform a ‘wiper’ trip before hand, and 1000 ft into the reservoir section, the string became stuck in both directions.

Following 8 hours of working the string hard, the driller used forces of up to 100,000lbs to free the string. Fortunately, they did not part the string, and considering the forces used and the continual working of the string, were amazed to find that all Poly-Tector cable protectors were still intact and on the pipe. This highlights the tough properties of the these cable protectors, in particular - impact resistance.

Umbilical Type POLY-TECTOR reaches Angolan depths - September 2004

PolyOil Limited are proud to be associated with recent Deep Water Completion running activities in Angola.  The pioneering completion combined with tree running system was engineered by the operator to save several thousands of pounds in equipment deployement time.  The Poly-Tector umbilical units complemented this by allowing fast, easy and safe installation of critical umbilical lines in over 6,000ft of water. 

The operator went on to report  that:-

" The job went very well and there were no problems with the guys running them, finding them very easy to use !"
