Unity, an international well integrity and decommissioning specialist, has launched a new downhole integrity service, adding thru-tubing applications and technology to its established surface and shallow intervention offering.
This significant expansion enables operators and service providers to source fully integrated well integrity solutions from a single vendor, reducing complexity, streamlining operations and improving cost efficiency.
Unity’s CEO, Gary Smart, said: “Extending our expertise into thru-tubing solutions is a natural progression for Unity. With our in-house engineering capability and existing know-how, we can now deliver integrity assurance across the complete well lifecycle. This expansion strengthens our value to clients and positions us to grow through continued technical innovation.”
Andrew Finlay, Thru-Tubing Operations Manager, Unity.
The new service delivers extensive integrity expertise to Unity’s clients, embedding thru-tubing knowledge in its multi-skilled offshore engineers, from project management to site operations. This reduces personnel on board (POB) requirements, equipment spread and operational cost and risk. Solutions are available for wellbore clean-up, fishing, remediation and stimulation, plus thru-tubing decommissioning work, with engineering and product manufacturing solving individual challenges with rapidly deployable solutions.
The provision of thru-tubing solutions enhances Unity’s decommissioning portfolio, expanding its Phase 0 integrity verification and risk mitigation work to include Phase 1 downhole barrier setting for reservoir abandonment.
Leading the service is Unity’s newly appointed Thru-Tubing Operations Manager, Andrew Finlay, with 20 years’ intervention experience gained at Halliburton, Baker Hughes, SPEX Group and Reservoir Group. Andrew is backed by a specialist team and the company’s 120-strong workforce.
The new service is available immediately across Unity’s operations in the UK, Europe, US, Australia and Asia.
