The sealing solution and delivery methodology are developed and perfected over twenty years and deployed in many hundred wells all over the world, both on- and offshore.

Our method and resin based solution is particularly suitable for leaks in difficult-to-reach places. Places where it is hard to place other sealing material or mechanical seals, or those other methods would be too expensive.
The material is robust and with enough flexibility enabling it to withstand mechanical shock or shock due to for example temperature or pressure changes in the well
Describe your challenge. We will contact you as soon as practically possible to discuss the case further.
We will then do a brief feasibility study/analysis and let you know within 48 hours, whether we believe we can provide an available solution.

The primary objective is to ensure that no leaks to surface exist and that no formation fluid migration occurs even many years after the well has been abandoned.
Most oil and gas wells have different zones. Zonal isolation seeks to segregate undesirable intervals from production.
Regardless of definition, either SCP, SAP or CCA, it is a well integrity issue with a failed barrier. It requires management or workover.
Casing leaks are often a result of leaking casing threads, burst casing from pressure, corrosion or from casing wear due to extended periods of drilling operations.
Lost Circulation means you are losing your circulation of fluids off to a low-pressure and permeable formation somewhere in the well.
Many wells have a hydraulic control line running down along the casing or tubing. Control lines can develop an undesired leak.
One of the most vital departments within Wellcem is the laboratory and the staff responsible for managing the activities that directly support field operations and the future development of ThermaSet® polymer technology.
The Wellcem technical research and development team is comprised of a technician holding a master’s in chemistry and two PhD polymer chemists.
The team is constantly developing new ways to enhance the properties and help broaden the scope of ThermaSet® applications.
The project engineer will communicate with the relevant engineer in the client team, collect all necessary information and work out and agree on a detailed technical plan
Do tentative lab tests. Work out technical solution. Upon agreement of the work (PO), the project engineer will ensure our lab designs a recipe that meets the agreed properties
Perform final lab tests. When timing of the job is established, the project engineer will arrange for all logistics and also coordinate as needed with other service providers
The project engineer will be on the rig ensuring the job is executed as planned
The project engineer will make an “End of Job” report to summarize up the result, lessons learned and recommendation for future work
We acknowledge that every well has its unique conditions that needs individual solutions. Therefore, we make sure we use the necessary resources prior to operations commencing in order to:
