Cased-Hole I-Wheel®
Provides lift and reduces contact with the wellbore
Applications
- Cased-hole
Perforating
Features and Benefits
- Provides lift and reduces contact with the wellbore
- Creates standoff via free spinning and self-orienting design that drastically reduces the risk of differential sticking
- Free spinning and self-orienting assist deployment
Tool Description
The Weatherford cased-hole I-Wheel creates low contact areas that keep the tool body off the low side of the bore wall, with a gap to pass over problem areas. They can be placed anywhere along the toolstring and are efficient, consistent, and reliable tools in highly deviated wells up to 84° and reduce modelled friction by up to 80%.
Cased-hole I-Wheels are routinely used to convey perforating guns. They can be placed above, below, or between gun sections, with the detonating cord run through the mandrel. They allow the gun to rotate independently of the wheels, assisting on the orientation of shot in high-or low side perforating.
A wide range-of I-Wheel designs are available for any tubing, casing, or borehole size. Optional in-line or over-body-variants enable the best tool configuration for optimum deployment. Custom-engineered sizing and bespoke mounting variants are developed upon request to suit specific applications and well conditions.
