Recently, Rob Wills of Western Well Tools and Giles Doll of R&D Solutions were on-site in rural Queensland, working in challenging conditions that included floods, flies, and cyclones. Their task was to install and deploy Non-Rotating Drill Pipe Protectors (NRDPs) for an operator.

Once installed, the tools were run as part of the drilling string to reduce torque, protect drill pipe hard banding, and minimise casing wear during drilling in a deviated well. The images show Rob keeping the flies at bay with a face net before he and Giles paused for a quick photo to mark the successful completion of Phase 1 – installation.

NRDP systems have been successfully deployed across multiple operations in Australia and form a key part of R&D Solutions’ life-of-well success story, consistently delivering reliable performance over the years.

Putting the Bite into Gator Operations

When the call went out for non-pyrotechnic Plug and Abandon tools to assist a customer, our field techs and service centre team went into action.

After a briefing on what was needed, JHA complete and tasks assigned, tools were selected for the task including, Mega Packers for annulus sealing, Gator tools for perforating large bore casing and a Releasable Packer for isolation, all were collated at short notice, complete assembly built, pressure tested and inspected before being loaded into baskets for shipping offshore. Whilst there was the obvious need to meet deadlines no corners were cut on safety or equipment build diligence, and we were very proud to witness a first-class team professionally go about their business.

The picture captures those involved with equipment assembly prior to the tools being placed in baskets for collection, well done to all!!

As the year draws to a close, operations continue unbated. In late November R&D Solutions were busy sealing wells with KCI ECO – Seal ensuring rock solid integrity pressure tests were achieved. For years, R&D Solutions has partnered with KCI known globally for providing reliable pressure integrity sealant for wellheads, gate valves and associated wellhead and tree components. Working with this team really does emphasise the ‘Solutions’ part of our company brand.

The images captured show Field Technician Kevin Saunders deploying ‘KCI ECO-04 Seal’ material and conducting 5,000 psi sealing integrity tests which were achieved on every well in the remote Australia outback.

Anchor Hanger Deployment

Recently, one of our Field Technicians Mike Pearson paused to capture these amazing images of a rig he was working on which contrasted against the diming hues of light in the remote outback. Mike was also able to get a closeup of the Anchor Hanger he was running which stood out against the deep purples of the sun disappearing over the horizon.

Safe to say after only seconds it was back to work, the hanger shown was safely run to depth and set in a textbook operation.

On return to camp, Mike stopped again to catch a picture of the rig in full darkness, a contrast to the darkness which had since enveloped the surrounding area.

The remoteness of the areas R&D Solutions works in reminds us of the need to keep our staff safe and contactable, thanks to modern IVMS and satellite communication that has become standard. For further details on Anchor Hanger equipment and services across life of well which R&D Solutions can provide your team, contact us on +61 8 9486 9350 or e-mail [email protected]

R&D Solutions Celebrates 16 Years of Success and Growth

Earlier this month, the team at R&D Solutions came together to celebrate a significant milestone—16 years of dedicated service and continuous growth. The occasion was marked with festivities across various locations, highlighting the company’s journey and future aspirations.

At the Perth office, staff enjoyed a celebratory moment with Russell and Doug sharing a laugh as they cut the cake, sipping coffee and indulging in party pies alongside their colleagues. The atmosphere was lively, reflecting on the years gone by and the many achievements along the way.

Similar celebrations took place in Canning Vale, Brisbane, and Chinchilla, where the spirit of camaraderie and sharing a joke was on display. Russell described the journey as a "roller coaster," acknowledging the many challenges and successes that have shaped the company.

Both Russell and Doug emphasised that the backbone of any thriving organization is its staff. “Great staff are what make any organisation flourish,” they noted, as they highlighted the vital role of the Service Centres and Field teams who serve as the face of R&D Solutions to customers.

Acknowledging the support of their clients, they emphasized that customer trust in their ability to meet needs has been instrumental in facilitating growth across Australia. Without this faith, reaching new heights would not have been possible.

On behalf of everyone at R&D Solutions, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our loyal clients and dedicated staff. Your support over these 16 years has been invaluable, and we are excited to continue this journey as your trusted local provider of well service solutions.

Here’s to the next chapter in our story—dedicated to excellence, growth, and serving our communities.

In Cooper Basin over the past week, we have been busy deploying WellSense Fli fibre optics to diagnose casing pressure source prior to P&A operations.

Spring is on its way and with that the usual explosion in the population of flies and the need for good face nets, well done to all for working in extremely challenging conditions during set up and deployment. Check out Well-SENSE on their newly rebranded website https://well-sense.co.uk

When it comes to challenging work, the team at R&D Solutions prides itself on getting the bit between their teeth. However, at 42.00” OD, the Torque Turn Machine at R&D Solutions Canning Vale Service Centre was the better option. Special thanks go to Daniel Majkic, R&D Solutions Pressure Test Supervisor, who captured images of a 42.00” Rock Bit being broken out prior to preservation and storage for a major international operator.

Thanks again to Daniel and the team at Canning Vale for another safe and successful operation.
