Orientation by VAM® Field Service
The orientation service provided by VAM® Field Service technicians will enable you to master the alignment of your various completions and strings. As wells become increasingly complex with numerous connected accessories, or when it is necessary to avoid rotating the string while landing the hangers, this orientation service will support your operations and ensure optimal alignment while maintaining the integrity of the entire string.
A VAM® Field Service technician will join your operations with a batch of couplings or pup-joints with offset connections:
- Defines the angle to be compensated using our calibrated setting block (barrette) system.
- Assists in the make-up operation to ensure a perfect make-up with full connection performance.
- Supports you during the run-in-hole operations.
- Align your production tubing hanger to the well head without rotating your string while using a fully performant premium connection.
- Align your different accessories on your completion during your rig preparation.
- Chose the connection to be oriented for all the premium VAM® T&Cs connections.
A client needed to align their tubing hanger to the wellhead without rotating the production string in the well. This was crucial to avoid impacting the sub-assemblies and various installed connections. They wanted a more cost-effective solution than the swivel joint, with better connection performance.
The VAM® Field Services (VFS) team arrived on the rig equipped with a set of pup-joints, each with a known angular offset between the two connections. The angle to be compensated between the tubing hanger and the wellhead was measured using our setting blocks, which are manufactured and calibrated by VAM® Services.
With precise measurements and the right tools, our team successfully assembled the two accessories without rotating the production string. This ensured the integrity and performance of the premium VAM® connection was maintained.
The operation was completed efficiently and safely under the supervision and expertise of a VFS technician, demonstrating our commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable solutions.
