Well Abandonments

Abandonment Equipment Packages

Isolate, clean out and permanently seal a well from one supplier and one call. Drillable 10,000 psi plugs through 8-5/8″, set and cemented in one trip.

Equipment packages

Four groups, one call

Six bridge plugs standing in a row on a shop floor

Zonal Isolation & Sealing Tools

Permanently seal off formations and stop fluid or gas migrating up the wellbore.

  • Permanent bridge plugs: high-pressure plugs set to isolate old production or injection zones.
  • Permanent packers: mechanically isolate targeted sections of the casing string.
  • Wireline & mechanical cement retainers: lock into the casing so crews can squeeze cement into perforations or behind casing, then leave a cement plug on top.

Wellbore Prep, Cleanout & Milling

Before a permanent plug goes in, the casing has to be clean of debris, scale and old downhole equipment.

  • Casing scrapers: clean the casing wall so plugs and retainers seal properly.
  • Mills & bits: grind out old packers, stuck liners or debris before the final plug.
  • Power swivels: 85-ton surface units to rotate the work string for milling and cleanouts.
Spiral and basket grapples racked at Dan's Grande Prairie shop

Cased-Hole Fishing

Older wells often have junk or failed tubing left downhole.

  • Fishing tools: spears, overshots and catch tools to retrieve stuck items or parted tubing.
  • Jack trucks: 125-ton hydraulic units to pull stuck tubing hangers or remove old casing slips at surface.
Brass safety valves racked in the shop

Pressure Control & Surface Handling

  • Valves & flanges: high-pressure valves, spools and BOP components to keep well control during service-rig work.
  • Pack-off / RS heads: seal around slickline or wireline during the setting phase.
