VAM® 21 has once again gone beyond standard applications to meet the requirements needed to extract hot fluid from geothermal wells. The premium connection was recently installed in two of Geo Dipa Energi’s geothermal wells in the Dieng Plateau in Indonesia withstanding temperatures of up to 330°C. “We are very satisfied with the results obtained with VAM® 21 in our Dieng well, VAM® 21 was ran quickly and efficiently with zero rejects.” - Yudi Hartono, Geo Dipa Energi Drilling Manager
“Vallourec’s tech support throughout the entire project was excellent. Tech teams were available if we had any questions or problems and would anticipate product needs which allowed us to move forward in an efficient manner, minimizing issues and delays.” Quentin Jaclin - Completion Engineer for Petrofac North Sea
“Since it came on the market, VAM® 21 has fast established itself as an industry favorite for a wide range of applications. Becoming the oil industry’s connection of choice the world over didn’t happen without reason. TotalEnergies in the North Sea who operates HPHT wells (West Franklin and Elgin Franklin wells) with bottom hole temperatures of up to 215°C (419°F), turned to VAM® 21 for their projects.”
Leveraging the technical prowess of VAM TOP® product, which set the industry standard for over 30 years, VAM® 21 is now the connection of choice for oil majors the world over. Over 1 million VAM® 21 joints have now been run downhole worldwide.
CLEANWELL® technology was successfully used by Petrobel in the Zohr gas field, for running corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) pipes. David Crane, VAM® Field Services Engineer, confirmed: “Running CRA pipe with CLEANWELL® was fantastic compared to standard running compounds. Over 5,000 meters of 7" 28CR with VAM® 21 CLEANWELL connections were run into the wells with not a single reject. Back-outs showed no surface damage and we were able to make-up and brake-out with total confidence.”
"Using VAM® 21 with CLEANWELL® we had faster running and no rejects. We don’t want to use anything else!" AKER BP, North Sea
