Description

The patent-pending SureStop ESP Safety Catch™ from Shale Oil Tools is run in-string with your ESP completion to provide insurance against problematic fishing operations and lost-in-hole costs of abandoned ESPs.

A dissolvable locking mechanism prevents the slips from engaging during installation, allowing you to freely work the string up and down as needed.  Post installation, the locking mechanism dissolves so that the slips engage with downward movement - preventing your ESP from travelling downhole.

Unlike traditional ESP catches that require a separate wireline run for installation, leave a wellbore restriction, and require a retrieval intervention, the SureStop is installed with your ESP, freely moves uphole, and is extracted along with the ESP.

Features

  • Provides a bottom stop when trying to fish ESP completions
  • Patent-pending dissolvable lock prevents the slips from engaging during installation
  • Customizable 36" of stroke to allow for tubing movement or manipulation when pulling from the wellbore (optional j-track for unlimited up/down movement)
  • Can be configured threaded for compatibility with standard screen and separator assemblies
  • Box connection up, blank or pin thread down
  • Field proven, rugged slip system
  • Built-in safety shear-out mechanism

Benefits

  • Drastically reduce ESP fishing spend
  • Avoid lost in hole costs of abandoned ESPs
  • Does not require a wireline run to install packer/plug-style stops
  • Leaves a fully open wellbore
  • Eliminates ESP free falling into packer/plug-style stops

Business Driver

  • Reduce fishing and abandonment expenses related to ESP retrieval operations

Solution

  • Run the SureStop ESP Safety Catch™ from Shale Oil Tools in-string with your ESP completion to prevent your ESP from travelling downhole, leaving a restriction-free wellbore

Technical Challenges

  • ESPs are often difficult to retrieve and pushed downhole during retrieval operations
  • A traditional bridge plug or stop installed below the ESP either leaves a restriction on the well or requires a retrieval trip
  • ESPs can freefall and crash into traditional bridge plugs or stops - damaging the ESP

Value

  • Significantly reduce fishing spend and abandoned ESP costs from problematic ESP retrieval operations
  • Eliminate costs and NPT of separate wireline trip to install packer or bridge plug style ‘stop’s below the ESP
  • Eliminate cost and NPT of retrieval interventions associated with traditional packer or bridge plug style stops
