We highlight our achievements through participation in prestigious events, such as those organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), and the publication of papers and journal articles. At these venues, we also discuss our success cases with other P&A experts.
We are passionate about what we do and proud of the value we deliver.
Our specialist team is committed to solving problems and cleverly inventing improved well integrity solutions to minimise risk, provide assurance as well as reduce time, cost and environmental impact.
HydraWell is leading the way to change the P&A game, challenge the norm and deliver positive industry results. Your challenge is our progress – we genuinely want to help.
We present a case study of two wells decommissioned in Australia using our coiled tubing PWC solution, where PWC managed to regain circulation and fix surface casing vent flow issues.
This paper, in partnership with Petrobras, Halliburton, and SLB, describes the outcomes and lessons learned of the first four plugs installed in Brazil using our jet-based HydraHemera tool.
Everything you need to know about PWC is available in this open-access SPE journal article.
In collaboration with NORCE and Shell, we present the test apparatus used to qualify our new HydraCT ExpandaJet tool.
A summary of 10 years of jet-based PWC operations in Malaysia, highlighting our successes, challenges faced, and lessons learned. Published in partnership with Petronas.
While our focus has been on delivering successful P&A, PWC extends to any cement remediation application - such as when the primary cement job needs some help.
A successful deployment of our hybrid jet- and cup-based solution, engineered for larger casing sizes. Validated by our CFD methodology developed in conjunction with CFD-experts FS Dynamics.
A case study with Petronas discussing the PWC operations carried out in four wells, pushing operational boundaries by combining PWC with mechanical perforations and a hydraulic workover unit (HWU).
A case study with ZADCO (now ADNOC) discussing the PWC operations carried out in two wells, attempting to cure annulus pressure observed behind the casing using our jet-based HydraHemera tool.
This paper describes how PWC can decrease plugging and abandonment costs by reducing operational times compared to traditional methods without compromising on safety.
The original conference paper, published in 2011, that first described the now retired cup-based Perf, Wash, and Cement (PWC) technique to our industry.
Chief Commercial Officer
Erlend holds a bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Bergen, Norway. He has 14 years of experience in the oil field, which includes development and field trial of new multilateral liner hanger systems and drilling with liner systems.
The past 12 years he´s held various operational positions with HydraWell before becoming the Chief Commercial Officer
Erlend has contributed to the continuous development of HydraWell's proprietary technology, PWC, Perf-Wash-Cement®, both onshore and offshore.
Fun fact:
Erlend can solve a Rubiks Cube in under 10 seconds and likes to run 4 times a week training for the Marathon.
Technology Development Lead
Marcelo holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering, all from the University of Campinas, Brazil. He moved to Norway in 2023 as a postdoctoral researcher at NTNU, Norway, before joining as Technology Development Lead at HydraWell in 2024.
Marcelo has a research background in well engineering, focusing on well integrity and plugging and abandonment, with several published articles.
