You should know exactly what’s happening in your well, in real-time, throughout your ongoing surface casing vent flow (SCVF) repair and intervention operations.
The Ventbuster® stands alone in its uniqueness, being the only built-for-purpose, point-source, quantification technology in the industry. Its engineered design, with a patented flow channel, sets it apart, making it the perfect tool for vent gas emission testing, quantification, and measurement.
BACKGROUND
Before the Ventbuster®, low-pressure emissions could never be accurately measured. Some offer up self-styled vent flow meters using custody transfer, positive displacement, or differential pressure gas meters or misrepresent the functionality of micro-mass flow meters in adverse and field conditions for low-pressured SCVF measurement. Others still default to an SCVF evaluation using a “bubble-test” protocol. These factors lead to erroneous positive or negative SCVF rates and pressures.
Establishing the Baseline Emissions
The Ventbuster® establishes SCVF baseline characteristics using continuous, real-time monitoring, which is proven vital in the forensic engineering phase. This allows for building a plan, budget, and coordination of the well’s plug and abandonment (P&A) program and methodology to restore wellbore integrity.
Continuous Monitoring - P&A and Leak Repair
Throughout downhole operations, the Ventbuster® continuously monitors the vent flow and provides real-time visual tracking, offering intelligent insight into the well’s emission behaviour. This empowers the Operator with surgical proficiency regarding the effectiveness of the intervention to isolate the emission source and restore wellbore integrity.
Validation of Well Integrity Repair
Before cutting off the wellhead, capping the wellbore, and commencing surface restoration, re-install the Ventbuster® as proof of a successful and permanent repair with undisputed assurance to Regulators for clearance to cut and cap the well.
