Odfjell Technology has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Applied New Technologies (ANT) to deliver a next generation erosion tool for P&A projects across Southeast Asia.

In the agreement, Odfjell will offer deployment of ANT’s advanced wellANT nozzle head technology in conjunction with its rigless unit and fishing milling techniques.

WellANT preserves well integrity by enabling the safe and precise removal of internal wellbore obstructions without mechanical force, heat or conventional large cuttings.

Paul Toner, Vice President for the Middle East & Asia Pacific at Odfjell Technology, said, “Incorporating wellANT into our services further increases the significant cost and time efficiencies that we can deliver over conventional methods to meet the evolving demands of P&A and intervention.

“The non-intrusive ay ANT’s technology erodes obstructive material not only keeps well integrity but restores full wellbore access. Used with our specialist fishing milling services and rigless unit, which minimises the need for a fulling drilling rig on site, it also further enhances the safety and environmental benefits for P&A operations.”

Odfjell’s focus with wellANT is to support the large volume of P&A wells in the region.
