Tool helps produce marginal wells
The Holey Moley gas diversion tool is designed as a simple, inexpensive way to continue to produce a marginal well.
The company says its product allows you to pump under a packer. It adds that a lease operator no longer has to fear a hole in the casing. At the same time that you avoid an expensive squeeze job you can lower lifting costs and eliminate gas locking, the company points out.
The Holey Moley is inserted into the tubing string to restore production quickly and economically, the firm says. No special tools are required. This patented device can bring stripper wells back from extinction, the company notes. The tool is maintenance free. The Holey Moley also can serve as a tool for gas lifting.

New items for data management, geoscience uses
Newly released Version 5.3 of Recall, a program for managing, storing, and processing wellbore data, includes enhancements to data integration, work flow, search tools, database security, petrophysical sensitivity, and uncertainty analysis.
In conjunction with the release are two new products: Raven and Impetus.
Raven is a new suite of applications that implement an automated validation engine for Recall. These applications run investigations on the data loaded into Recall databases, and provide rule-based evaluation of data quality and metrics. Raven features a graphical explorer-style interactive display, which allows management and technical staff to appraise data integrity and decide how it will be made available to the company's geoscience community.
Impetus is designed for casual or novice users of image data and is based on Recall's Log Image loading, processing, and interpretation software. The emphasis is on guidance, visualization, and ease of use, while adopting a familiar windows-like interface for all operations, wrapped into a single Log Imaging package. Impetus features a guided wizard for preparation of quality images from raw data (from any commercial imaging tool), and the image interpretation module is coupled with 3D viewer and dip pattern analysis tools.
Version 5.3 also includes the RePhine module, a new tool for petrophysical sensitivity and uncertainty analysis. Work flow is further improved through a "transfer bucket" and WITSML loader. Added to this is the PWE Recall browser, a new Recall search tool, and improved Recall database security. Users will be able to see all data associated with the well, view attributes, and select data for download. Individual logs or curves can be selected to be plotted, and the user has control over the depth range to be plotted, plot format, and depth scale.
