Research and Development in Broaching applications
- Building on our experience with broaching and slickline operations, in-house R&D and experimental research has lead new strategies to remove Calcite build-up in well liners.
- Western Energy has modelled, developed and manufactured a new series of slick line broaching tools.
- Testing and evaluation of these new techniques, tools and equipment has started in December. The results are very promising.
- Previous operations involving broaching of calcite have revived several wells and significantly increased power generation at geothermal stations.
