Plug & Abandonment
Safe, compliant, efficient well decommissioning.
When a well reaches the end of its productive life, decommissioning must be done right. WellsRX provides the specialised well services that make P&A campaigns safer, faster, and fully compliant with regulatory requirements.
What is "plug & abandonment"?
Plug & abandonment campaigns involve the permanent isolation and restoration of wells that are no longer economically productive. In Malaysia, under the Petroleum Development Act (PDA) 1974 and the Environmental Quality Act 1974, operators are required to return the wellsite to its original condition. This is a process that demands precise wellbore preparation and verified barrier placement.
WellsRX delivers the fishing, wellbore cleanup, and casing intervention services that form the foundation of a successful P&A programme: removing downhole equipment, preparing sealing surfaces, and creating the access points needed for permanent barrier installation.
Our solutions
Tubing retrieval
Pull your tubing string safely and efficiently as part of your P&A programme. Our tubing retrieval solutions handle stuck, corroded, or damaged strings, minimising rig time and keeping your abandonment schedule on track.
Packer retrieval and milling
Remove or mill through packers that stand between you and a clean wellbore. Our retrieval and milling solutions address both free and stuck packers, giving you the flexibility to choose the fastest path to your P&A objectives.
Casing cutting & retrieval
Sever and recover casing strings to the depths your abandonment programme demands. Our casing cutting and retrieval tools deliver clean, precise cuts, reducing trips and meeting regulatory requirements for well decommissioning.
Control line recovery
Recover parted or stuck control lines and cables without damaging your casing or delaying your P&A campaign. Our fishing tools are purpose-built for the delicate work of catching, securing, and retrieving small-diameter lines cleanly and efficiently.
