Laboratory tests require necessary quantity of production fluid from submersible pumping equipment and pipelines (oil, water, deposits, ARWD, salts). ELKAM collects all types of samples from wells, pipelines and bottom holes to develop methods and solutions for prevention of complications during wells interventions including well servicing and repair of oil flow pipeline, flushing (cleaning) of well bottom hole.

Analysis of oil, water and deposits forms full control of conditions at all stages of technological process of oil production, transportation and treatment. ELKAM has its own testing laboratory with up-to-date equipment for fast and precise identification of all key parameters of oil and fluid such as mineralization, quantity of solids, viscosity, gravity, aggressiveness , surface tension, quantity of chlorides and iron sulfide, content of ARWD, salines, hydrates and etc.

Application of chemical agents for oil production, transportation and treatment is the most efficient solution for deposits. ELKAM has its own testing and analytical laboratory with the advanced equipment for development of chemical agents against asphalt-resin-wax deposits (ARWD), salines, hydrate deposits, corrosion inhibitors and demulsifies for viscosity reduction. Before field application we perform laboratory tests.

Artificial lift well fund has a steady tendency of equipment failure increase caused by high quantity of solids contained in fluid and sloughing from formation due to technological impact, scale and ARWD. Presently existing methods of deposits control are not always efficient. ELKAM analyzes artificial lift well fund and issue recommendations for improvement of equipment runlife and production efficiency.

Well logging is a complex of physical methods used for rock study near the well-bore and in interwell space as well as for control of technical condition of wells. Exploration works are performed upon well servicing and well operation. ELKAM performs full range of field geophysical, geological and technological, hydrodynamic research on oil production and injection well fund.

Our specialists perform full package of works for inspection; replacement of submersible pumping equipment; cleaning of equipment, well ID and well bottom-hole from various deposits. Besides we perform workover actions for recovery and increase of wells potential productivity: equipping of wells when putting into operation; well shifting; operation method enhancement; well servicing (inspection and replacement of equipment, tubing cleaning and steaming, elimination of sucker rods breaking and leakage, hydraulic testing, etc.); bottom-hole cleaning and washing; trials for testing of new types of submersible equipment; etc.

ELKAM teams perform full service for workover of wells: cementing; casing sealing; recompletion and commingling, implementation and repairing of pumping equipment sets for multi-formation production and injection; bottom-hole formation zone treatment; well survey; well suspension and re-entry; well killing; well shifting for another purpose; etc. All the works are performed under supervision of highly qualified specialists strictly according to the requirements of technical instructions, environmental, health and safety rules.

ELKAM provides full service for control and analysis of operation of wells with submersible pumping equipment: visual inspection of wells; measuring of well fluid level by depth sounding method; well fluid sampling; dynamogram interpretation of conditions (factors) caused pump operation decrease or stopping using dynamometry method; selection of necessary repair type and control for quality of repairing.

ELKAM provides full service for turn-key construction of deviated and horizontal wells upon side-tracking: selection of optimal drilling parameters; whipstock installation, orientation and casing window cutting; side-hole casing by extension pipe lowering; performance of geophysical works. Work is performed by experienced drilling specialists, maintenance engineers, highly qualified personnel of technological and geological departments able to take proper and good decisions.

Operation of oil production equipment is accompanied by continuous and irreversible changes in assemblies and fittings caused by wearing, deformations, corrosion and other factors, accumulation and overlapping of which lead to decrease of oil production equipment operating characteristics and its failure. Correct maintenance and operation allow to decrease costs for its repair significantly and increasing its runlife. ELKAM provides full package of works for maintenance and integrity of oil production equipment including drives, wellhead equipment and control boxes.
