HOUSTON, TEXAS (May 8, 2003) - Baker Oil Tools' WindowMaster™ one-trip window cutting system was a key enabler for a recent successful expandable liner installation for Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Corp. in the East Breaks Gulf of Mexico field.
Baker Oil Tools' WindowMaster™ System was chosen over the alternatives because of its proven reliability with over 4,000 successful jobs. Using the renowned METAL MUNCHER™ cutting structure, the whipstock system was able to create a full length, full gauge, quality window at the optimum build rate through 9-5/8 in. 53.5 lb. casing. This performance was critical to the successful deployment of the 7-5/8 in. solid expandable liner that was run through the casing exit.
"Expandable tubulars can be sensitive to severe doglegs and longitudinal scratches in the material," said Steve Sparling, Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas Deepwater Drilling Engineer. "A clean window is extremely important during the deployment and expansion process. For our project, this window was so clean, there was no indication of a window at all."
