Well Head Cold Cut

Well Head Cold Cut is a tool designed for cutting and beveling casing at the wellhead, providing greater safety in operations and reducing time, operating costs and ignition risks in explosive environments.

This equipment is a vertical parallel lathe, completely autonomous, equipped with cold cutting and chamfering cutters, which is anchored to the guide flange of the well. It allows cutting at the exact height and chamfering both on the outside and inside of the casing. The cutting is carried out by cutters that do not generate sparks and are lubricated with emulsified oil. In addition, the risk area is constantly inerted by the injection of CO2, allowing the cutting and chamfering of the casing to be carried out in open wells without the need to lower a plug to avoid the possible emission of gas that could generate an explosive environment.

Producing Wells

Ideal for cutting and chamfering casing without the need to run a plug or fill the well with water, significantly reducing well preparation and securing times.

Applications

Applications

Applications

Drilling and Completion of Wells

Effective in drilling and completion operations, avoiding the risks associated with manual work with grinders and the generation of sparks.

Benefits

01

Security Improvement

Cold cutting eliminates ignition risks in explosive environments. The cutters do not generate sparks, and the work area is kept inert with CO2, minimizing any risk associated with flammable gases.

02

Time Reduction

It allows casing cutting and beveling to be performed in a productive well in just 40 minutes, compared to traditional methods that can require more than 20 hours.

03

Cost Savings

By reducing both the time and the number of operators required (from four to one), the operating costs associated with these maneuvers are significantly reduced.

04

Versatility of Use

It is useful in both producing wells and drilling and completion operations, providing a safe and efficient solution in different scenarios.

05

Resource Optimization

It avoids the need to lower a plug or fill the well with water to make it inert, which implies significant savings in time and resources.
