Archer has launched its latest tool, the TornarTM Deep Water BOP Cleaner, which has been designed for safe and effective blowout preventer (BOP) and riser cleaning in deep and ultra-deep water environments.
The company made the announcement from booth 555 at the SPE/IADC Drilling Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam where it is displaying a model of the technology.
The Tornar Deep Water BOP Cleaner is an advanced vortex cleaning technology which removes wellbore debris from blowout preventer and marine riser cavities safely, rapidly and reliably in challenging depths, using a powerful vortex suction effect.
The tool combines Tornar flow ports with powerful proprietary magnets to extract debris whilst maintaining full well control and protecting the blowout preventer.
Speaking from the Amsterdam show, Rolf Egil Håland, Archer's President and Managing Director, Oiltools, said: “The accumulation of drilling debris and solids is a serious oilfield challenge, it can hinder the correct operation of the BOP and cause extensive loss of time and money. The Tornar Deep Water BOP Cleaner has been designed for use in any deep and ultra-deep water environment around the globe.
