ArgusTubeSpec
- An ultrasonic CT inspection system that measures wall
thickness, outside diameter and ovality has been developed.
This device was documented in SPE paper 81722.
OrionSL LifeSaver- A data acquisition system for slickline fatigue life tracking, the OrionSL LifeSaver acquires, records, and displays slickline operating data to estimate fatigue along the length of a slickline. The system's calculated remaining fatigue life information is useful to help avoid costly field failures and to optimize the slickline replacement schedule
Zeta Safety System
- Riser Monitoring & Safety System - BP and NOV CTES worked together to develop a system that measures the
bending moment, axial force and internal pressure at one point
in a lubricator/riser system. The system uses a real-time
finite-element analysis to determine the maximum stresses
throughout the system.
Fiber Optic Downhole Measurements
- NOV CTES was funded by Sandia National Labs to develop a
fiber optic (FO) cable installation system for installing a FO
cable inside of CT while it is spooled. This system was
developed and successfully tested. Now NOV CTES is looking into
downhole measurements that can be made with this FO cable.
Coiled Tubing Test Machine (CTTM)
- The CTTM is used to perform specialized CT testing
projects.
