Scotland -based Scotland has completed a field trial with a major operator in the US the Gulf of Mexico shale play for its well screen and flow control completion system Cascade³. The tool, which took three years to develop, is equipped with several non-return valves which prevent sand from entering the well bore in water injection sites. Tendeka said Cascade³ can protect injection rates over a longer period. Green added: “Without sustained water injection, several offshore Gulf of Mexico fields are at risk of losing production as reservoir pressure falls below the bubble point. The system is due to be deployed at three wells in the Gulf of Mexico as well as a deepwater site in Permian Basin .
