The QWIX® ultra-sonic well casing examination tool delivers ultrahigh-fidelity content and graphics through the most efficient collection, analysis, and communication of reliable and informative results of the production casing well barrier element (WBE). QWIX® detects and quantifies corrosion affects over time, enabling better well-field risk management.
QWIX® provides comprehensive data and imagery of casing-wall thickness (WT), with overlapping coverage of geometry and metal loss features. Unlike other casing examination tools with 6 or 8 calipers that take general readings to calculate averages, QWIX takes hundreds of thousands of readings per meter to maximize accuracy.
QWIX® owes its deep roots in testing, integrity, and assurance to Quest Integrity, which has developed rigorous and trusted integrity technology and software that provide cost-effective information to optimize productivity and prevent loss of containment.
Based on inspection results, an advanced engineering assessment can be made using Quest Integrity’s proprietary software: Streamline Universal Platform™. It enables QWIX® data set(s) from a well to be interlaced with existing data on the same well. Additionally, the Streamline platform can calculate the remaining life and fitness-for-service of the casing in accordance with API 579/ASME FFS-1 standards. Accurate corrosion rate information enables operators to take a proactive approach to reducing the risk of failures, while optimizing casing integrity management.
