Mitigation of Risks

Downhole, high pressured waterjet cutting eliminates the need for hot work permits and confined spaces that are dangerous and sometimes fatal.

57% Faster than Conventional Cutting

A conventional approach would have required at least 70 hours on site from start to finish. The NuWave method took only 40 hours, with 24 of those hours being driving time.

Continued Operations

Live wells and pipelines surrounding the site can continue as normal when waterjet cutting is the methodology used

Estimated Value Savings

The Cut

With multiple casings involved, fluctuations in the thickness of casing and cement sometimes exist between casing strings (faster cuts with cement in between casings). Each cut varied in time required, ranging anywhere from 40 minutes to 8 hours. 

NuWave completed a total of 3 cuts within 40 hours from start to finish, including 24 hours of drive time.
