Why Specialized Tools?

In the latter part of the last century, with well designs becoming more and more ambitious, several major operators experienced significant deterioration in the performance of their well completions, particularly in subsea wells. The result was that the percentage NPT (Non Productive Time) in the completions phase was sometimes two to three greater than in the drilling phase. In the worst cases, so called “train wrecks” caused substantial lost time and loss of production from either damage to the reservoir or simply time to recomplete.
