Downhole projects like zone isolation, snubbing, pressure testing, and well abandonment rely on high-quality tools that can withstand different wellbore conditions. Every downhole project is unique, and once you complete the drilling process, you may find the tools at your disposal don’t quite meet the environmental or geological requirements of your new oil well.
If you need a more specialized tool to complete your project, you can get high-quality custom threads, bridge plugs, refacing, and more from Avalon’s full-service machine shop.
When Commercial-Grade Doesn’t Cut It…
While a good worker should never blame his tools, sometimes, the ones at your disposal just aren’t up to standard. At Avalon, we understand that oilwell projects can get complex quickly, and the tools you have on hand may not get the job done as efficiently.
Whether you encounter unique geological conditions or an unprecedented downhole environment, you need the right tools to adapt to your oil well conditions. That’s where our team at Avalon Research comes in.
…Contact Avalon for Custom Downhole Solutions
If your oil site requires a very specific tool or part for your downhole project, you can get custom components from Avalon’s full-service machine shop! With over 30 years of research and development in oil tools, we can provide optimized designs that improve performance, reduce downtime, and enhance safety. Our motto: if you can describe it, we can design it.
Some common downhole tool requests we receive include:
- Refacing tools
- Custom threading (including Swedge)
- Wireline pack-off equipment, including designs with brass and bronze materials
- And more
Our engineering team provides a complete FEED (Front-End Engineering & Design) service, which includes the following steps:
- Downhole tool conceptualization and design: You provide us with the information for your job’s specifications, and we’ll go to the drawing board.
- 2D and 3D CAD modelling: Once the design is complete, we will use CAD (computer-aided design) software to craft a digital model of your custom tool.
- Engineering analysis and evaluation: After the tool is fully complete, we will put it through a series of tests and analyses to assess durability, material and environmental compatibility, and temperature/pressure resistance, ensuring it’s field-ready.
- As-built documentation: We will create and provide blueprints for your custom tool using the information from our designs, CAD models, analyses, and evaluations.
We work with top-of-the-line machining equipment, including CNC lathes, mills, turning centres, and manual lathes, combining our hands-on expertise with advanced CNC technological capabilities. We guarantee a high-quality product with a design that works.
