rig time as compared to the existing StarBurst system, which requires three pipe trips. Well Cleaner PST SPS Overlay Reduces Impacts Offshore SPS Overlay has recently been used to reinstate the starboard box girder walkway on the Northern Producer. This Aker H-3 Semi Submersible type Floating Production Facility is operated by Petrofac Facilities Management. The project was executed in South Shields, UK by McNulty Offshore Construction with support from SPS Overlay specialist. Greig Ritchie, Petrofac Facilities Management, said "For our application a conventional crop and replace repair would not have been possible due to knock-on implications. SPS Overlay is a quicker, easier solution for deck repairs and when finished they are better than new." Welltec Booth # 1963 The Well Cleaner PST (Power Suction Tool) is run on electric-line, and is more effective at recovering sand and debris from producing wells. With its large drawdown, this new system is able to lift sand into long bailer sections and is capable of bailing up to one metric ton of sand per run. Coil Shooting WesternGeco, a business unit of Schlumberger Booth # 4143 Coil Shooting acquires full-azimuth (FAZ) marine seismic data continuously with a circular geometry using only a single seismic vessel. Coil Shooting takes geophysics further by enhancing current multi and wide azimuth (MAZ and WAZ) acquisition techniques. The MAZ technique involves shooting a survey several times with one vessel, each experiment being on a different heading. The WAZ technique involves acquisition with a number of source and recording streamer vessels. www.marinelink.com MN 61
