Roy Martin, READ Chief Executive, said: “For a typical single-well application, ZeroTime™ eliminates the need for dedicated logging runs, resulting in fewer trips in hole and a saving of circa 24 hours when comparing the same intervention performed by conventional means. This provides operators significant benefits in time and associated operating cost reduction.
“It’s still early days but we are confident that more operators will see it as the reliable technology to acquire fast, actionable intelligence to help save valuable time and resource.
