Hydrawell’s innovations come from listening to clients’ challenges and downhole problems. The company was set up in 2008 in response to the recognition that reductions in well decommissioning costs would be highly beneficial to the industry. Since then the organisation has successfully delivered a number of systems which have significantly reduced costs associated with annulus remediation and verification.
The founders of the company continue to be involved along with a growing group of more recent recruits, and our passion for problem solving remains undiminished. Together, our team has a wide experience in downhole tooling development, well decommissioning design and managing the delivery of safe and effective well operations. We continue to identify and develop innovative solutions to the challenges our clients present us, always seeking better, more cost effective and safe approaches to well performance and decommissioning economics.

A subsea well which was to be abandoned, had a live annulus which required to be isolated before the full abandonment could be safely completed. Isolation had to be achieved without damaging the external casing.
Five wells needed to be plugged in connection with shutdown of an abandoned platform gas field on the UKCS. The quality of the existing annular cement at the barrier locations was either unknown or believed to be poor.
HydraWell was asked to support the operator in a four well abandonment campaign for suspended subsea production gas wells at 115 metres water depth. A key challenge was to ensure a quick turnaround from a planning perspective, in readiness for the offshore operations.
