ConocoPhillips enlists Raptor Data to deploy acoustic telemetry, wellbore plug verification services
(WO) – Raptor Data Limited has been awarded a contract from ConocoPhillips to manufacture and deploy a fleet of tools based on its acoustic telemetry technology, Pathfinder, the world’s first truly plug and play in-well verification system.
This build of advanced verification and validation equipment incorporates wellbore pressure, temperature, distributed temperature, and broadband statistical acoustic analytics to confirm wellbore plugs are installed reliably and performing as designed.
Paul McClure, Raptor CEO, said, “I am pleased ConocoPhillips has selected Raptor to further develop and deploy our proprietary acoustic telemetry and wellbore plug verification services.
“ConocoPhillips and Raptor have worked together over several years to refine wellbore plug verification technology, particularly for use with bismuth barriers. This contract will enable Raptor to deploy systems to ConocoPhillips operations and demonstrate the operational value of this technology for right-first-time barrier installation with quantifiable assurance metrics”.
