XACT real-time telemetry reduced TCP risk, minimized rig impact Challenges • Monitor completion fluid level during TCP operations • Overcome conventional disruption to rig activity Results • Provided real-time telemetry data no matter hole conditions • Incurred minimal impact to standard rig operations A customer operated a partially depleted field in deepwater Gulf of Mexico and was expected to intersect under-pressured formations during perforating operations. Tubing conveyed perforating (TCP) is widely practiced in deepwater completions but the operation is not without its challenges. Safety is critical when perforating depleted or high permeability formations because fluid losses can quickly reduce the hydrostatic column in the well. As reservoirs are drawn down in the
