Carbon composite ComTrac

摘要

Archer and IKM Group joint venture C6, set up in 2010, has developed ComTrac system package using a carbon composite rod. The system comprises a spoolable, 12mm diameter semi-stiff carbon composite rod with electrical cables (up to 10km-long) embedded for communication with downhole tools, which is driven in and out of producing wells by a ComTrac surface unit. The surface unit includes a control/spooling unit and an injector unit and head that can push or pull the rod into or out of the well, and provide well pressure control.
