Darcy Difference
The Darcy Difference

COMPLETION STRENGTH AND CONTROL

 Positive Wellbore support preventing mobilisation of problematic sands, shales, coals etc.
 Mechanical strength and collapse resistance for high geo-mechanical loads and extreme conditions
 Conform to the borehole whilst maintaining base pipe geometry
 Premium sand control combined with ICD capability and zonal isolation
 Selective production, injection and shutoff with maximum ID Independent ISO Collapse Testing achieving 6,000psi and
Mechanical Crush Testing beyond API base pipe ratings

OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY

 Minimise exposure to operational complexity, risk and cost

 Eliminate specialist pumping crews or additional downhole tools
 Easy integration with standard completion equipment
 Realise logistical savings on transportation, boats, helicopter, deck and bed space
 Environmentally neutral, no pumping equipment or fluid disposal

Explore New Possibilities
Our environmentally neutral system lends itself to even the most remote or sensitive locations
Mature & low pressure reservoirs
Endurance hydraulic screen is the ideal solution
when, in a low bottom hole pressure environment,
circulating a gravel pack is not an option.
HPHT
Stimulate the filter cake ahead of activation and
benefit from completion strength that is not subject
to mechanical failure when the reservoir is depleted
over time.
Deep water and Shallow Reservoirs
Eliminate the time and complexity of gravel packing,
removing pumping operations in wells with small
pore pressure / fracture gradient window.
© Copyright Darcy 2015, CONFIDENTIAL 7
Injector wells
Maintain borehole support and near wellbore
stability throughout injection and shut-in. Protect
injection performance by effective placement of
filter cake treatment before screen activation.
Zonal selectivity and ease of well intervention for
added assurance.
Horizontal & Multi-lateral wells
Complete more complex wells with greater
ease and less risk, when gravel packing isn’t an
option.
Heavy Oil applications
Benefit from completion strength, preventing the
loss of sand integrity when greater drawdown
loadings occur when extracting hydrocarbons with
high viscosities, especially under ESP conditions.

Exceeding Client Expectations
“…Darcy and Statoil both recognise this as a major milestone and industry first, using Hydraulic Screen technology as the primary sand control
system in a low bottom-hole pressure and logistically challenged environment…”
Press Release, post Darcy installation success May 2015

“…The Darcy crew displayed above standard dedication to the performed operations, not only wrt. their own equipment but also providing advice,
support and QC-checks for other third party suppliers….”
“…Proactive and hands-on DARCY representatives onshore during whole detailed planning phase (from January to May), and also during
execution phase……Quick response on mail and actions from meetings…Cost estimate, risks and suggested improvements to DOP`s and
operation was provided according to deadline set...Very good work...”
Statoil D&W Engineers, May 2015

“…Overall Darcy have been available at all times and more than willingly to help, assist, explain and cooperate in the planning phase….Statoil is
very pleased with the work performed both on- and offshore, during planning, execution as post job analysis/AAR…”
Statoil D&W Engineer, Sept 2015

“…[Well] came in 7 days sharp, 3,2 days (or roughly 31%) below budget, with 7 ea. Darcy screens installed. This makes [Well] the 2nd fastest
completion in [license] history (after [well], the first Darcy well),and sets a new benchmark for what can be achieved…”

Endurance Hydraulic Screen® - Burst and Collapse Testing (ISO 17824)

Burst and Collapse testing of the 6 5/8” Darcy screen system was conducted at Stress Engineering’s facility in Houston, as per ISO 17824.

System Collapse (activated)

 6 5/8” Hydraulic Screen was initially tested to 5,061psi without failure of the screen.
 Dispensation was given by Stress Engineering to increase the rating of the test cell.
 A second test was conducted and an increased pressure rating of 6,152psi successfully applied to the screen.
 Both tests were successfully completed with no loss of sand control as specified by the ISO standard.
