Abstract:This paper proposes the development of an autonomous robot for rigless well interventions in order to reduce costs by avoiding the need of a rig to do so, especially for light workover operations in offshore locations. It also presents experimental tests performed in a laboratory string and in a test well in order to evaluate the feasibility of this technology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
