Centek Group, a centralizer manufacturer, has formed a deepwater division to focus the sale and support of its specialist deepwater centralizer products.
Centek’s deepwater centralizers are designed for use in wells where as many as nine casing strings can be running through each other so tolerances are extremely tight. The centralizers have to compress fully to travel through the tight casing strings and be able, undamaged, to expand to the designed open hole size to centralize the casing.
“Our 14 years of experience in this field has led to the development of a range of centralizers ideally suited to downhole conditions in deepwater,” said Tony Cutmore, managing director Centek Group.
“Specifying Centek’s UROS-CT enabled us to run a series of 17in close tolerance liners to a total depth of 16,614 MD RKB ft. without any problems,” commented one operator in Norway’s Ekofisk field.
Centek’s deepwater products include the UROS-CT close tolerance centralizer, the S2 Hinged centralizer for oversized casing connectors, and the Centek Centralizer Sub designed to be run as an integral part of tight tolerance casing strings.
