DX-EoT Tool
The Vortex downhole end-of-tubing (DX-EoT) tool is ideal for coalbed methane applications. Placed at the end of the tubing string, this DX-EoT tool is cost-effective alternate to more costly solutions such as progressive cavity pumps (PCP). Whether placed in a new well or in an existing well during a work-over, this DX-EoT tool unloads stagnant liquids and keeps the well flowing towards profitability. The DX-EoT has unique advantages where accumulated sand or coal fines are problematic and can eliminate the need to replace damaged or plugged PCP. This DX-EoT tool has historically been successful in Australia. In one coal seam gas field in Queensland, Australia, 50 out of 51 wells with the DX-EoT tools were free flowing, whereas all of the wells without Vortex EoT were being pumped (PCP) and not free-flowing. An SPE White Paper (#84136) on the value of these DX-EoT tools reducing flowing bottom hole pressure by an estimated 10-15% is available here. If you’re ready to submit a downhole input form, you can do so here. The Vortex team will run your numbers on its proprietary surface calculator and will respond to you (typically within 48 hours) with a prediction on the expected benefits by adding the Vortex tools to your line. Accurate data is necessary for an accurate prediction of application success. |
