Intervention

  • Production Injection Packers – Production Injection Packers are retrievable, inflatable packer that may run on drillpipe, threaded tubing, or coiled tubing, and is best suited for performing zonal isolation in open hole or cased hole environments.

  • SMART™ Intervention Services – Baker Hughes brings the advantages of drilling optimization, real-time downhole measurements and closed-loop process control to intervention operations with its SMART Intervention service.

  • Thru-Tubing Intervention – Baker Hughes’ comprehensive Thru-Tubing Intervention portfolio provides solutions for your wells’ fishing, isolation (both Inflatable and s Metal-to-Metal) and casing exit needs.

  • Wellbore Cleanup – The Wellbore Cleaning System is a modular system for performing several wellbore cleaning functions.

  • Z-Seal™ Technology – Z-Seal Technology is an innovative, high expansion seal utilizing primarily a compliant metal in place of a more traditional elastomeric sealing element to create a pressure seal and subsequently help mitigate many common oilfield problems encountered with the use of more common elastomeric seals.
