Maximizing Intervention Efficiency with Houssam Mourani

Mechanical milling plays a critical role in addressing today’s complex well intervention challenges. In this on-demand webinar, Houssam Mourani, Vice President of Well Intervention Services Sales and Chief Commercial Officer at Welltec, explains how powered, rigless milling tools are transforming well remediation operations.

Drawing on nearly 20 years of international experience in wireline services, milling technologies, and commercial leadership, Houssam offers a practical and insightful perspective. Since joining Welltec in 2011, he has led key initiatives across service delivery and global sales, supporting operators in improving performance, reducing rig dependency, and enhancing operational agility.

Webinar Agenda

  • Introduction to Welltec and its intervention capabilities
  • Overview of mechanical milling tools and applications
  • Tool combinations and optimized configurations
  • Milling use cases: scale, cement, resin, salt, and glass plug removal
  • Accessing failed isolation valves through nipple profile milling
  • Bridge plug, cement plug, and ball valve milling
  • Debris recovery and wellbore cleanout using bailing tools
    • Case Study 1: Nipple profile combined with harsh scale milling
    • Case Study 2: Safety valve access hindered by barium sulfate buildup
    • Case Study 3: FVS milling in the North Sea completed in 8.5 hours
  • Key takeaways and reference to a supporting SPE technical paper
  • Summary of operational impact, emissions reduction, and technology leadership

Restoring Well Access with E-Line Milling: SPE-Supported Case Study

SPE-209533-MS

The SPE paper “E-line Milling of Isolation Valve Restores Well Access in the North Sea” (SPE-209533-MS) supports the webinar by detailing a real-world milling intervention where a failed isolation valve restricted access in a horizontal producer well.

Using a tractor-conveyed e-line milling tool, the operation successfully milled through the valve in just 8.5 hours—restoring access and delivering significant time and cost savings. The case highlights how precision e-line milling can effectively resolve downhole hardware failures without the need for rig-based intervention.
