“We recently utilized the KWAT to set and pressure test an abandonment plug above the lower set of perforations in a two zone well in Northeast BC. Being able to do this on wireline allowed us to move our rig to another job a day earlier than planned and also saved us over $10k/30% compared to doing this the conventional way on tubing. Considering the number of legacy wells that we need to abandon in the near future with dual completions and/or minor casing leaks, integrating this tool into our abandonment practices is going to result in significant cost and time savings.”
