The Omega Tubing Protection System was developed in conjunction with a UK operator as a solution to a junked well issue. The well had a stuck tool string at a significant depth and a collection of wire was unretrievable from the well.

The operator wanted to produce from the well but was concerned that the broken fragments would flow upwards causing issues in the upper completion.

Omega`s simple solution was to utilise their existing gauge hanger as an anchoring base for high flowing tubing system which allows high bypass but has the ability to capture debris.

A flow analysis was carried out on the assembly which proved that minimum upthrust and maximum flow was provided due to the size and angle of the flow ports. A quick response to the customers problem was essential and Omega were able to design and build a solution within 48hrs.
