Weatherford announced the commercial release of the WFX0 gravel-pack system, and according to the company, the WFX0 system is the industry’s first fully-integrated gravel-pack system to achieve an API/ISO V0 rating, which validates that it has been tested to the industry’s highest standards with zero gas leakage. By leveraging several V0-rated Weatherford technologies, the system enables gravel-pack completion of multiple open-hole zones in a single trip and provides reliable, gas-tight zonal isolation in deepwater wells.

The V0 rating makes the system well suited for deepwater applications. By incorporating a deep-set barrier run, the WFX0 system eliminates the need for an intermediate completion, which can save approximately two-to-three days of rig time. Additionally, by using the TerraForm packer, the system achieves cased-hole functionality in an open-hole environment. The WFX0 gravel-pack system is available for the international open-hole gravel-pack market only, and is not available for sale in the United States at this time.
