Built around the abandonment program
Suspension and abandonment work is governed by what the regulator will accept as well as by what holds pressure. That is why plug selection is the first conversation rather than the last — a retrievable plug set for a suspension is a different decision from a permanent drillable plug set for final abandonment.
We carry the setting tools, retainers and cement equipment to go with the plugs, for suspension, abandonment and decommissioning work.

One supplier for the whole cementing job
A cement retainer on its own is not much use. The job needs the retainer, the right setting tool, the cement itself and something to mix it with, and when those come from four suppliers, the one that is late is the one that holds up the program.
Dan’s supplies the retainers, the setting tools, Class G cement, mixing equipment and sand line dump bailers with coil tubing options.
