Welltec provides precise, surface-controlled interventions that support both the preparation and execution stages of plug and abandonment. These solutions allow operators to access the wellbore, remove hardware, and establish permanent barriers, all without use of a rig. Welltec’s technologies help meet regulatory obligations while reducing long-term environmental and financial risks.
Christian Krüger brings more than 36 years of industry experience, including 25 years with Welltec. His expertise in rigless interventions and operational planning offers valuable perspective on how to carry out P&A activities efficiently, safely, and with lasting integrity.
To complement the webinar discussion, this SPE paper highlights a practical rigless solution for one of the most time-consuming stages in plug and abandonment (P&A): the safe and efficient cutting of tubing without explosives.
The paper presents two case studies from the North Sea, where an e-line deployed, mechanical cutter tool successfully performed under compression in subsea wells. By eliminating the need for rig-based explosive cutting methods, the tool significantly reduced rig time, improved safety, and enabled faster transition to tubing retrieval.
To complement the webinar discussion, this SPE paper presents a practical solution for one of the key challenges in plug and abandonment (P&A) of smart completions, the safe and efficient cutting of tubing and flat packs.
The paper outlines a series of controlled tests and a successful field deployment of a mechanical cutter designed to sever production tubing and flat pack components in a single run. By avoiding explosives and minimizing debris risk, the technology offers a reliable and repeatable method for clean well access, reducing non-productive time and enabling secure well abandonment.
