Annular Barrier
(WAB ) ®

For Well Construction


& Integrity

Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP) is


common in many wells globally (>30%)
and present within multiple annuli. Since
2009, well integrity has cost operators
over $75 billion. This has provided the
impetus for the industry to focus on
and rework international standards on
well integrity management. Through
the incorporation of the WAB® to the
well construction phase, Welltec® are
facilitating enhanced well integrity via
standalone cased hole barriers, open
hole isolation and cement assurance.

03 Benefits The steel packer expandable sleeve is expanded


between the base pipe and the casing or the borehole
Removes the need for cement
by applying pressure in the casing. It conforms to
Removes channels or leak paths at setting depth the actual wellbore or casing geometry and primary
Rotatable during deployment enabling casing to TD in sealing is achieved through a patented series of
challenging environments elastomer seals. The WAB® seals are optimised along
Rotatable during primary cement operations enhancing the length of the steel sleeve, backed up by a series of
cement placement metal fins that provide metal to metal or metal to rock
Deployable through milled windows contact, and high strength anchoring capability.
Once the WAB® is set, casing integrity is re-instated
Slim OD allows for high rate circulation during
deployment via internal hydraulic isolation mechanism.
Rapid set nature of WAB reduces time to next
