create a leading well integrity specialist which is rapidly realizing its ambitions to play a prominent role in late life oilfield activities .

Historically , READ and ANSA may have come from the same rootstock , but their methods and areas of expertise were quite different – and that ’ s something the new-look organization is capitalizing on as it takes a turnkey ideology to market . Bruce Melvin explains : “ ANSA has always been primarily a digital company for example , whereas READ was and still is

very much grounded in the three dimensional world , where electromechanical probes are used to measure events as they happen . ANSA ’ s work happens exclusively in the digital space , manipulating the digital files generated by READ ’ s probes . As such , we never have to contend with the complexities of how

to get the data in the first place . That ’ s all down to READ ’ s ability to navigate complex logistical challenges . The operation sends tools and personnel around the world , often

... the critical step of assigning the right people to the right jobs taking place quickly and methodically

under dangerous and demanding conditions , which brings its own set of probe maintenance and reliability demands only very few companies can cope with and none as well as READ .”

He adds : “ Essentially , READ acquires

HydraWell

the data downhole to identify issues such as casing corrosion , scale build , damage , leaks and cement bonding . This data is then transferred from the downhole tool to ANSA who analyzes the data to produce a solution .”
