Waterbushing

A solution to circulate fluids down casing

Waterbushing can be a surface or casing accessory for safety purpose. It is used for circulating the string hydro test up to 6000 psi. In case of gas kick, it allows to put the string at the bottom of the well and to close the BOP to seal the well. It is able to lift the full string and can be used for OCTG and drill pipe.

Customer Story
"Vallourec has developed an innovative and ultra-competitive solution for complex cross-over with high reduction of diameters. Thanks to our patented forging process, Vallourec has been able to propose a unique solution to a major IOC allowing to use traditional Sour Service pipe material instead of a costly Inconel bar. Thus, Vallourec combines well integrity and cost reduction."
