WellSafe Explorer is a safety device designed to prevent major incidents during “locked to bottom” operations from a floating drilling vessel. It is applicable for exploration well testing, wireline intervention, well clean up and completion operations.
• Over tension protection system • Can be turned on and off • Strong mode during rig up and landing • Weak mode in “locked to bottom” • Adjustable weak mode setting point • Tension system activates on over tension
WellSafe Explorer is compliant with existing rig handling systems, requires no interference to personnel in compensator lock events and protects the well control equipment from accidental tension and compression loads.
