FLEX - Falcon Local EXpander
Fix micro annuli and cement channels behind pipe on wireline
The Falcon Local Expander is a wireline deployed tool that locally deforms a casing or tubing to lock up and solidify the cement and thus remove sustained casing pressure (SCP), surface casing vent flow (SCVF) and other expressions of annular fluid that are widely encountered in zonal isolation issues. It avoids risky and costly measures such as milling and / or cement squeezing. It makes rigless abandonment possible, can avoid cross flow or avoid fracs going along the outside of the cemented tubing.

|
Environment
|
No materials are used and no scrap is produced | Reduction in CO2 by not having to run a rig for lenghty times
|
Cost
|
Large cost reduction is possible due to the deployment system (wireline vs rig / pump units).
|
Safety
|
No explosives or high pressure hydraulics | Removal of surface hazards associated with rig work and pumping
