Protects Personnel as well as the Environment

Use of the Well Tractor not only solves operator problems reliably and effectively but at the same time helps them increase safety and reduce environmental risks. The wireline Well Tractor is a product of Welltec’s mindset around safety and the environment. We designed, produce and operate the technology with safety and environmental friendliness in mind. At Welltec, quality is inseparable from safety and environmental friendliness. Our quality controls and processes address reliability, safety and environmental performance on an integrated basis.

We designed our Well Tractor technology to be light, agile and strong. As a result, we pre-empt the need for many tons of heavy equipment, reduce the need for strong chemicals and, in some instances, replace the need for explosives. Well Tractor technology it is a key change agent in our client’s quest for zero emissions and discharge.

At the same time, Well Tractor technology requires only two highly-trained professionals to operate rather than large teams of workers. Therefore we also reduce operational hazards as well as fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from transporting heavy equipment with large groups of workers to often difficult to reach, environmentally sensitive locations. Welltec has a very simple attitude towards safety: zero accidents. Our proactive approach toward the highest standards in work practices helps operators achieve a safer and more sustainable work environment.

Fail-Safe Function

The passive and immediate fail-safe feature of the Well Tractor prevents it from getting stuck in the wellbore. Its arms and wheels retract automatically when it is powered down or disconnected, providing a flush outside diameter surface.

Substantial Cost-Savings

A major reason for the rapid client utilization of the Well Tractor is proven reductions in operating costs that we generate for oil companies. These savings have been achieved due to increased operational efficiency and reduction of required number of personnel.

The benefits of applying Welltec technology are clear: lightweight but solid operations with lesser quantities of heavy equipment. This means fewer personnel required and less investment in the well. We have clearly demonstrated reduced operating costs and increased oil recovery for our oil company clients.

Value-Creation

Well Tractor Technology adds value to well management by ensuring rapid returns on investment for operators. This is obtained, for example, by increasing oil recovery in mature wells, conducting rig-less interventions and performing keyhole surgeries that reduce well exposure in shorter interventions and increase the speed with which wells can be brought back on line. Certainty of execution is a Welltec trait.
