Ziebel - Successful Deployments of a New Well Intervention Methodology in Horizontal Wellbores

Authored by Henning Hansen, Terje K. Wilberg and Kaj Stokkeland of Ziebel , as well as Peter T. Male of Petroleum Development Oman and Richard J. Kluth of Sensornet, this paper discusses and demonstrates a patented new wellbore intervention solution that can be deployed in long horizontal wells holding Fibre Optic Sensing devices.

It was originally prepared for presentation at the 2009 SPE/ICoTA Coiled Tubing and Well Intervention Conference and Exhibition, held in The Woodlands, Texas, March 31st through April 1st, 2009.
