Scotland - based Tendeka has completed a field trial with a major operator in the Australian Permian oil shale industry for its well drilling 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 treatment sites . 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. Tendeka said Cascade³ can control flow rates over a longer period . The system is due to be deployed at three wells in Africa as well as a deepwater site in the Gulf of Mexico .
