C6 Technologies, an oilfield technology company offering solutions for well intervention and conveyance utilising composite materials, has informed that its new ComTrac system is performing field trials after completing test well runs.
The company, a joint venture by Archer and IKM, currently has one ComTrac package onshore in the Middle East and another operated by Archer offshore in the North Sea, with reportedly several runs completed and further operations planned.
A ComTrac system package, which allows operation in offshore or onshore environments, comprises a reel of a spoolable 12 mm diameter semi-stiff carbon composite rod with internal electrical conductors (up to 10 km in length), a control/spooling unit, and an injector unit and head that push or pull the rod into or out of a well and provide well pressure control.
