AlphaV Single-Trip, Casing-Exit System
The Step-Change in Cased-Hole Sidetracking
The AlphaV single-trip casing-exit system delivers reliable sidetracking in onshore and offshore wells requiring a full-bore exit—through single or multiple strings. For the first time in the industry, Weatherford presents a whipstock system that does not utilize a shear bolt to release the milling assembly from the whipstock, once set—eliminating the risk of premature shearing while running in hole.
Reduce OPEX and Save Rigtime
Add unprecedented accuracy, speed, and value with exclusive technologies that streamline rigfloor operations and expedite processes.
Simplify and De-Risk Operations
Improve performance and safety with proven procedures that remove hazards associated with conventional whipstocks while ensuring repeatable results.
Optimize with Field-Proven Innovation
Create ideal window geometry compatible with any drilling/liner program—regardless of casing size, grade, depth, or inclination—for added precision and speed.
Eliminate the Wellbore Preparation Run and Double Trip Speed
Integrated Gauge Mill and Scraper Assembly
are positioned below the whipstock anchor and remove the need for a dedicated wellbore preparation run, saving valuable rigtime.
360°, Scraper-Pad Assembly
mounts below barrier and ensures packer is set in clean environment for reliable whipstock performance.
Millable Collar with Retractable Pin and No Shear-Bolt
creates a robust connection between the milling BHA and whipstock assembly—allowing for virtually unlimited tripping speed while navigating in and out of hole.
High Torque and Load Capacity
allows for 100K lbs compressive loading, 80K lbs tensile loading, and 20K ft-lbs torque for extreme rigidity.
Eliminate Risk of Accidental Shear-Off
Patented Hydraulic Mill Release (HMR)
provides alternative method over conventional shear bolt for releasing milling BHA and delivers high-torque and load-bearing capabilities for increased tripping rates while removing risk of accidental shear-off.
Mechanical Mill Release
is machined into the concave to ensure predictable, consistent, and repeatable shear values for secondary release. (Load rating is 100,000 lbs)
Patented HMR Tripping Assurance
enhances safety in tripping operations when abrupt workstring movements can cause premature shear release of the whipstock assembly.
Robust Construction
withstands harsh downhole environments including rugose boreholes, liner-laps, and high DLS.
Rough-Seas/Heave Endurance
enables reliable, consistent offshore capabilities, even during extreme weather conditions.
Quickly Mill a Full-Bore Window and Rathole
Aggressive Lead-Mill Geometry
improves penetration rates and gauge-retention to minimize trips related to mill-gauge loss.
Seamless Cased-Hole-to-Openhole Transitions
provide interference-free, liner-and-tieback installation.
AccuView® Software
provides hydraulic calculations and helps plan and execute re-entry operations with real-time, 24/7, SME support and supervision.
Industry-Leading SAQC Technology
improves milling performance and yields faster penetration rates in tough-to-drill formations.
