West Africa Well Intervention

Revitalizing production and optimizing well integrity in a mature offshore field.

Project Overview

West Africa Offshore Platform

Axonai was selected by an independent operator to execute a complex well intervention campaign on several mature offshore wells in West Africa. The primary objectives were to restore and enhance production, address well integrity issues, and implement cost-effective solutions to extend the economic life of the field. The initial project estimation highlighted a need for precise planning to maximize ROI.

The campaign involved multiple well entries requiring a range of intervention techniques, including wireline logging, coiled tubing operations for scale removal and stimulation, and mechanical interventions to repair downhole components.

Challenges Faced

  • Aging well infrastructure with potential integrity concerns.
  • Significant scale buildup and formation damage impacting production.
  • Logistical complexities associated with offshore operations in West Africa.
  • Strict budget constraints requiring highly efficient intervention planning and execution.
