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. As such, satisfactory repeatability of the manufacturing process is difficult to achieve.
PTC’s NexLift SI-B™ is the only true single-piece, unwelded dual barrier SPM in the market place today. This unique design provides unrivalled structural integrity, while protecting the production casing from potentially harmful fluids and pressure. NexLift SI-B is an ideal choice for high-profile and harsh environment wells.
