Hunting PLC has introduced Opti-TEK, a new suite of Optimised Intervention Technologies aimed at helping operators extend well life, minimise downtime, enhance decision-making, and lower both operational costs and environmental impact.
Developed through Hunting’s TEK-HUB innovation platform, Opti-TEK combines the company’s internal expertise with strategic technology partnerships to accelerate the delivery of next-generation tools to the market.
The initial range of products includes:
- Opti-TEK slickline tubing cutter: A disruptive, non-explosive, battery-powered downhole cutting tool that operates autonomously with CNC precision, ensuring safe, efficient, and verified severance during plug and abandonment (P&A) operations or in environmentally sensitive areas.
- Opti-TEK data stem: A cost-effective, plug-and-play slickline tool providing downhole intelligence by capturing pressure, temperature, accelerometer, and CCL data at a fraction of conventional system costs.
- Opti-TEK monitoring system for greaseless cable pack-off: Delivers real-time data tracking and predictive maintenance for greaseless cable pack-off heads.
- Opti-TEK valves: Lightweight, compact, and service-friendly wireline valves offering high cutting force from low-pressure inputs, marking a step-change in valve design.
Allan Gill, Product Line Director for Well Intervention, commented: “Opti-TEK represents Hunting’s commitment to delivering smarter, safer and more cost-effective interventions. By aligning cutting-edge innovation with real-world operational demands, we are enabling our customers to optimise every intervention and maximise the value of their asset.”
The launch of Opti-TEK underscores Hunting’s ongoing drive to innovate within the well intervention sector, equipping operators with advanced tools designed for greater precision, safety, and sustainability in increasingly complex field environments.
