The wet connector is a critical downhole docking tool designed for intelligent completion systems, enabling seamless connection and disconnection of control lines and cables without retrieving the entire downhole assembly. It allows for efficient well interventions, reducing operational costs and downtime.
Traditional intelligent completion systems directly connect control lines to the wellhead, making interventions such as pump inspections or control line repairs costly and labor-intensive. The wet connector solves this challenge by enabling quick and accurate hydraulic and electrical connections between the downhole assembly and the wellbore sealing unit, facilitating multiple docking cycles without compromising well integrity.
✅ Hydraulic & Electrical Integration
- Independently sealed hydraulic channels for control line connections.
- Electrical pass-through valve ensures secure cable docking with the downhole sealing unit.
✅ Reliable Locking & Sealing Mechanism
- Threaded locking system secures the connection between the docking tool and the wellbore sealing unit.
- Ensures high-pressure sealing, preventing leaks during hydraulic transmission.
✅ Efficient Well Interventions
- Enables retrieval of the production tubing without disturbing the downhole completion assembly.
- Multiple docking capability allows repeated connections for maintenance or replacement.
✅ Cost & Time Efficiency
- Eliminates the need for complete well workovers, reducing operational downtime.
- Enhances long-term monitoring and production optimization without extensive intervention.
✅ Versatile Application
- Suitable for oil, gas, and water production wells, ensuring compatibility with diverse reservoir conditions.
