Current manufacturing processes for conventional Side Pocket Mandrels (SPM) have inherent challenges related to welding and heat treatment.Welding and post weld heat treatment rely on extensive human intervention, requiring stringent and elaborate QA/QC processes exceeding the current standards.
PTC’s NexLift RO-CI™ is an innovative SPM with only two circumferential welds, manufactured using proprietary robotic TIG welding eliminating many of the shortcomings in the conventional manufacturing processes. This enhances the quality and reduces the risk of completion failure along with issues related to intervention operations. International operating companies are now installing the field proven NexLift RO-CI worldwide.
