AnTech Launches Metior™, The Latest Innovation In Downhole Analog Pressure Gauges, Designed For Long-Term Reliability

Always Well-Coiled For Action - Coiled Tubing Drilling specialist

Coiled Tubing Drilling specialist AnTech has achieved many world firsts in its pursuit of delivering improved oil and gas extraction for its clients. Now with a 2021 Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for International Trade accolade honouring its exports record, the company continues to push the boundaries of technical innovation within the CTD sector. Profile by Andy Probert, Inside Oil & Gas.         The root of the inexorable rise of AnTech to global prominence can be traced back to a pivotal low point early on in its near-30 year history. The 1998-99 industry downturn came just six years after AnTech was founded, hitting the company hard. Its founding partners, engineering specialists with a background working for one of the major service companies, reflected hard on the outlook of the company and came to a monumental decision that still resonates today. They made a strategic shift away from subcontract manufacturing services in order to focus on AnTech’s core strength: oilfield innovation. “They wanted to make products that were compelling in terms of function, quality, specification and delivery. Today’s product lines of wellhead outlets, coiled tubing tools and our coiled tubing drilling service are all a result of that change of focus,” commented Head of Global Sales and Marketing, Clare Miszewska-Hall. Innovation, a key strength Branching out into Coiled Tubed Drilling (CTD) services was a significant step change which required AnTech to devise an entirely new design concept, the drill-by-wire Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA). Fast forward to the present day, and it is now the most technologically advanced BHA in the industry. Alongside this innovation came the development of a patented downhole gyro technology, which has secured two world firsts during field trials and forms the basis of an HDD gyro-navigation system for trenchless drilling. Having technically demonstrated the effectiveness of these innovations by successfully drilling seven wells, the technology attracted the attention of Saudi Aramco. By 2013, Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures and Calculus Capital had both invested in the company and AnTech was able to launch its services division. The Exeter-based company now operates across two divisions. Its products division is the leading supplier in each sector it serves, including wellhead outlets for permanent monitoring, e-coil logging heads, and riser detectors. Alongside this, AnTech’s directional coiled tubing drilling services division, launched in 2008, makes AnTech the only company in the world whose services are 100% dedicated to CTD. Between 2008 and 2017, AnTech drilled 45% of all non-long-term contract wells drilled using CTD and is regularly consulted by global operators looking at CTD as a means of revitalising old and under-producing wells. AnTech’s patented continuous rotating orienter (CRO) within its drilling BHA enables AnTech to drill a perfectly straight hole. “No one else in the world can do this,” emphasised Mrs Miszewska-Hall. By drawing upon its innovation prowess, AnTech, which employs 50 people in the UK and the US, has developed multiple patented technologies, and continues to generate new products and services to meet industry needs.  The company has combined its expertise in mechanical and electronic design with software and firmware and, as a result, AnTech has a portfolio today bristling with high-quality, high-specification products. Providing further proof of its innovative capabilities, AnTech have also launched their patented RockSense technology, which measures porosity at the drilling bit in real-time for geosteering. “Our drilling technology has applications for carbon capture and storage, thanks to its ability to drill underbalanced and guarantee closed-loop drilling operations. Furthermore, we believe that we are well-positioned to enter the hydrogen economy as well, thanks to our products with hazardous area certifications.” Global exports drive and accolades Toni Miszewski, Managing Director and one of the two founding members, said: “We all share resources in engineering and design across the products and drilling services divisions, enabling synergy and expertise to run through both. “Over 30 years of innovation, we have built a strong portfolio of products and services in-house, backed by a talented and dedicated team who care passionately about serving our customers. “We are a truly global company, selling 90% of our products overseas and to every continent except Antarctica. On the drilling services side, we have completed projects on four continents for blue-chip clients, including work in Saudi Arabia and Alaska.” In April 2021, AnTech’s long term dedication to overseas trade was recognised when the company was awarded The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise for International Trade - one of the UK’s highest business accolades. “It is a real honour to have secured such prestigious recognition,” beamed  Mrs Miszewska-Hall. “This reflects our collective achievement as a team and our growing global presence, being at the forefront of innovation in oilfield technology. “As a UK business operating in a highly specialised global industry, exporting is crucial to us. For both our products and drilling services, selling to different countries and regions helps improve and foster new product development offerings as emerging markets bring new technical or commercial challenges.” AnTech has enjoyed consecutive and significant sales growth over the last three years and in 2020, the company was ranked among Britain’s 100 fastest-growing private companies in the 24th annual Sunday Times Virgin Atlantic Fast Track 100. Five of its employees, Jennifer Bentley, Christopher Bowmer, Daniel Crow, Hai Dang and Pawel Wojcicki, were also named among Britain’s manufacturing heroes of 2020 in The Manufacturer Top 100. Mrs Miszewska-Hall said: “All the awards are a testament to the efforts and commitment put in by the staff, and we are proud to be honoured regionally, nationally and globally.” In the first quarter of 2021, AnTech registered one of its best performances ever within its products division, demonstrating its ongoing success within the sector. World firsts  Among its accolades, AnTech has achieved multiple world firsts using its proprietary drilling tools, including creating the first 5 inch OD POLARIS CTD BHA. With the same drilling BHA, AnTech successfully performed the first horizontal Gyro-While-Drilling operation and the first air drilling operation. These significant achievements demonstrated how robust the tool is, even in harsh environments with very high vibrations caused by air drilling. “We also recently completed a drilling job in Louisiana with our POLARIS tool, hitting an instantaneous drilling speed of 2,400 feet per hour,” added Miszewska-Hall. Using its COLT BHA during a project on the North Slope of Alaska, AnTech’s specialists achieved the first triple casing exit on Coiled Tubing (CT), completed the longest single liner run on CT, and achieved the longest lateral section drilled with CTD (2,894 feet in 24 hours). Bright future Throughout the pandemic, manufacturing activities at AnTech continued as “we still had to get orders out the door while everyone else worked from home and adapted to remote working,” said Mrs Miszewska-Hall. “We have not had a single incident or near miss as we put a lot of effort into our biosecurity, and nearly 90% of the workforce has been vaccinated.” Aside from Covid-19, Mrs Miszewska-Hall explained that most of the other challenges faced revolve around the never-ending task of making extraction as efficient as possible, ensuring operators get more out of old fields without needing to develop new ones. With its ability to keep the well contained at all times, DCTD is considered the safest and most efficient method for drilling underbalanced. “On a global basis, operators are increasingly considering DCTD as the most reliable and economically viable technique for maximising the potential of mature and under-producing oilfields,” remarked Mrs Miszewska-Hall. “Significant and ongoing advances in the development and execution of DCTD technology in the past recent years continue to form a solid foundation for future work.” AnTech is currently developing a smaller drilling tool, a 2-3/8” OD drilling BHA system, focused around the Alaskan market. AnTech has a very positive view on competition within the sector. As Mrs Miszewska-Hall explained, competition means more investment in the Coiled Tubing Drilling market, resulting in the technology being more widely adopted. “It’s also great for customers, and pushes service providers like us to continue to develop new technology,” she added. “AnTech has the most technically advanced CTD BHA in the market; we compete technologically to get noticed by customers. The current service providers have owned the CTD market for a long time. AnTech brings innovation to declining or brown fields that customers need.” “We survive by being more innovative in how we make oil and gas extraction increasingly efficient for our customers.” The company also has the shortest Coiled Tubing Drilling BHA on the market, offering advantages for deployment, amongst several other significant benefits. Mrs Miszewska-Hall said the company provides an ‘everything for’ service on both the products and drilling services divisions of the business in order to help the customer understand what is technically possible and required for their specific project. “For our suppliers and customers, we believe in integrity, as well as being open, honest and transparent to ensure long-term business relations continue to flourish.” She concluded: “Despite all the changes brought about by the energy transition, the fact is that we will need oil and gas for the foreseeable future. “While new extraction may eventually stop, we see efficient extraction from existing fields continuing – and these are critical. Therefore, we believe AnTech has a bright future ahead.” If you would like any further information or would like to know more about AnTech Ltd then please contact us.  

AnTech Launches Metior™, The Latest Innovation In Downhole Analog Pressure Gauges, Designed For Long-Term Reliability

AnTech Launches Metior™, The Latest Innovation In Downhole Analog Pressure Gauges, Designed For Long-Term Reliability

AnTech Ltd, designer and manufacturer of products and drilling equipment to the upstream oil and gas industry, has just launched Metior™, a Downhole Analog Pressure Gauge, targeted at the well dewatering market which aims to deliver outstanding long-term reliability, at low cost.         The product has been developed in-house by AnTech’s engineering team in answer to customer concerns of significant reliability issues concerning existing products, both in terms of vibration resistance and resistance to various forms of corrosion. Failure rates as high as 1 in 20 gauges have been reported, with microbial induced corrosion also contributing to gauge and tubing failure. To deliver the greater levels of reliability, the development team focused on several key areas including ease of installation, durability and corrosion resistance. Tim Mitchell, Sales Manager for AnTech’s Products Division, said: “We have been shown gauge failures where both the gauge and tubing encapsulated cable have been eaten through by microbial induced corrosion. Metior™ has been designed to overcome these issues and more. We have taken full advantage of our experience in developing equipment for the underbalanced drilling market to create our latest innovation – the design is compact for ease of installation and has the minimum number of joints to reduce the number of potential points of failure. This also has the benefit of keeping the cost down which is especially important in the de-watering market.” AnTech states that the Metior™ gauge has been designed to withstand the shock and vibration that can be caused by downhole pumps installed nearby. The new product uses silicon-on sapphire technology for good long-term stability and is currently undergoing testing in accordance with AWES (Advanced Well Equipment Standards) Recommended Practice for Qualification of Downhole Sensors. This qualification gives a quantifiable standard, normally used for high profile projects, against which its performance can be predicted and measured. “Corrosion resistance has been addressed through the selection of suitable corrosion resistant alloys for all wetted parts making it suitable for use in environments which in the past have proved a challenge for low cost gauges. Corrosion protection even extends to the exposed tubing encapsulated cable with the use of a protective sleeve which has the added benefit of increasing shock and vibration resistance,” adds Tim Mitchell. If you would like any further information or would like to know more about AnTech Ltd then please contact us.

AnTech Eyes Buoyant Us Land Market With Triple Product Launch Work Day

AnTech Eyes Buoyant Us Land Market With Triple Product Launch

AnTech Ltd, a world leading designer and manufacturer of products for the upstream oil and gas industry, has announced the launch of three products, designed to lower equipment cost of permanent monitoring in the current market. The two wellhead outlets and a cable splice build upon recent growth in the market, which is reflected in AnTech’s sales; product orders are up 26% year-on-year at the company, following a growth of 15% in financial year 2016-17. Tim Mitchell, Product Sales Manager of AnTech said: “Latest industry figures suggest the global level gauge market will grow at close to 7% per year between now and 2022 and those projections are reflected in our own sales figures. “The forecast growth for the gauge market, particularly in the US, looks exciting, but so much depends on cost. As the market-leader in wellhead outlets, AnTech is well-placed to use its expertise to support this trajectory by expanding our range to include the cost-effective solutions that are critical to this market’s viability.” Two of the three products extend AnTech’s Type C wellhead outlet range that provides a safe means of connecting downhole gauges to surface cabling, while ensuring compliance to the latest industry standards. The Type CF Wellhead Outlet has been specifically designed for the US gauge  market, although it also offers opportunities for other countries and markets. The wellhead connection is standardised on ½” NPT, with a maximum 10ksi working pressure, has a temperature range of -20° to +100°C and is explosive atmosphere certified. The Type CG Wellhead Outlet offers the same functionality, without the explosive atmosphere certification. The third product extends AnTech’s range of cable splices for tubing encapsulated cable (TEC) or hydraulic control lines. Designed for single conductor ¼” TEC control lines, it has a simple construction that enables easy assembly and a quick and reliable connection at the wellsite. Tim concludes: “Gauge systems need an integrated, reliable WHO at a competitive price point and that’s exactly what the Type CF and Type CG Wellhead Outlets provide, whilst our cable splice solution fills a significant gap within the gauge market, which has long required this type of product.”  To find out about the range, please click here ​

TEDxExeter ideas festival reaches a global audience. Thousands of people gathered across Devon and beyond to hear leading thinkers tackle global issues, from the environment to mental health, at TEDxExeter 2018. The seventh annual ideas festival at the Exeter Northcott Theatre on Friday 20th April had sold out within minutes, with hundreds more attendees watching a simultaneous livestream at the University of Exeter’s Alumni Auditorium. Schools and libraries across Devon held their own livestreams, with the day’s talks and performances also being screened at venues including the Exeter Phoenix, the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) and CoLab. Thousands of people around the world watched online as local and international speakers tackled diverse issues including sleep, human rights and the environmental harm caused by single-use plastics, linked by the overarching theme ‘Connect’. They included Devon barber Tom Chapman, founder of the Lions Barber Collective, which works to prevent suicide by encouraging conversations about mental health, and Rebekah Afari, a former student of the Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education and member of the youth advisory board of the National Deaf Children’s Society. Another highlight of the day was a talk by Dawn Faizey Webster, who learned to communicate by blinking after a stroke left her with Locked-In Syndrome. Once again TEDxExeter held a series of spin-off events alongside this year's ideas festival. These ‘adventures’ expanded on some of the themes of the event, including inclusive growth, sustainable fashion, modern slavery and single-use plastics. On Thursday 19th April, TEDxExeter speaker Anthony Painter and colleagues from the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) joined 40 senior leaders from across the region at RAMM to explore what ideas of ‘inclusive growth’ might mean for greater Exeter. Later that day, TEDxExeter speaker Patrick Grant and Lucy Clayton, from Community Clothing, led an interactive workshop at the University’s Business School around the themes of sustainability, fashion and social enterprise. The topic of modern day slavery was covered in a powerful talk on the day and in a moving photographic exhibition brought to TEDxExeter by the National Crime Agency. The police Anti-Slavery Partnership and Unseen were also present on the day, so that the audience could find out more about modern slavery and what they can do to spot signs in their communities. The problem of single-use plastics was also a major theme at this year’s TEDxExeter. To complement the talk by young campaigners Amy and Ella Meek on becoming plastic clever, reusable water bottles from Give Me Tap were given out to all attendees: the profits have funded clean water for over 300 people for 20 years in northern Ghana. South West Water provided a bowser to fill them, saving thousands of plastic cups at the event. A number of water charities were also represented to get delegates thinking about the impact of single-use plastics, what they can do to cut down on their plastic consumption, and how they can support Refill Devon, a tap water campaign that aims to introduce refill points on every street. Claire Kennedy, licensee and curator of TEDxExeter, said: “Ideas worth spreading are at the heart of TEDxExeter, and our talks have now been viewed 18.5 million times online - ideas from Exeter reaching the world. But we want to encourage our audience to turn inspiration to action, so we were really excited to run a series of adventures alongside this year's main TEDxExeter conference again this year. “It was amazing to see the speakers reaching out personally to our communities and exploring their themes in more depth. The reaction from the audience, and Exeter as a whole, has been wonderful and we look forward to seeing the ripple effects from this year's event for many months, or even years, to come.” The full line-up of speakers and performers was made up of: Alan Crickmore – Ambassador for Storybook DadsAmy & Ella Meek – Founders of campaign Kids Against PlasticAnthony Painter – Director of the Action and Research Centre at the Royal Society of ArtsVicki Culpin – Psychologist and professor of organizational behavior at Ashridge Executive EducationPatrick Grant – Founder of Community Clothing, and a regular media presenter and commentator on fashion, clothing and textilesRebekah Afari – Former student at the Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education and member of the youth advisory board of the National Deaf Children’s SocietyTom Chapman – Founder of the Lions Barber Collective, which helps to prevent suicideProfessor Sophie Scott – Deputy Director, UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience; Royal Institution Christmas Lecturer 2017Kate Garbers – Director of Unseen, a charity working towards a world without slaveryCóilín Nunan – Scientific adviser to the Soil Association and to the Alliance to Save Our AntibioticsFarrah Storr – Editor-in-chief of CosmopolitanDexter Dias – Human rights barrister, part-time Crown Court judge and author, who works pro bono internationally with survivors of FGM, modern day slavery, human trafficking and violence against women and girlsRafida Bonya Ahmed – a secularist thinker, writer and campaigner who survived a brutal Islamist attack in which her husband was killedJJ Bola – A Kinshasa-born, London-raised writer, poet, and educatorGlass Parachutes – Featuring musicians Fionn Connolly, Finlay Stafford, David Nunn and Freddie ReddingDawn Faizey Webster – a postgraduate researcher in architectural history at York University, who has pursued her academic career despite developing Locked-In Syndrome after suffering a stroke. All the talks will be available to watch for free online next month once the videos have been edited. TEDxExeter is a not-for-profit event licensed by TED, organised by a team of volunteers and made possible by support from sponsors, including local businesses. TEDxExeter’s 2018 annual ideas festival sold out in minutes. It was attended by a combined audience of more than 900 people in the Exeter Northcott theatre and Exeter University’s Alumni Auditorium.

New Products, More Data And Leaner Ways Of Working

​Fertile Fiber: New Products, More Data more & Leaner Ways of Working

New products, more data and leaner ways of working can change the way the industry identifies, develops and produces reserves. AnTech’s Tim Mitchell outlines the role fiber optics have to play.​ The economic environment our industry is currently operating within has dramatically changed. The oil price is recovering, but is unstable, preventing robust business planning and forecasting. While it is easy to see this as only a negative, there are a few positives to capitalize on, for example changing industry attitudes and perceptions towards new and existing technology.​ This drive to improve efficiencies means that engineers are looking at the outputs of each product and technology. Consequently, engineers are more interested than ever before in monitoring and analyzing big data. As a direct result, the use of fiber optic and hybrid wellhead outlet technology (the ability to accommodate two different types of control lines) is becoming increasingly popular within in the oil and gas industry.  The oil and gas segment of the global fiber optics sensor market was valued at over US$661 million in 2015 (from under $200 million in 2006)*, and it is expected to dominate the fiber market until 2020, according to Technavio.Indeed, major service companies have seen an ever-increasing demand for fiber optics, with one installing in excess of 17 million ft of fiber in over 1500 wells and another commenting on installations rising from one or two systems per field up until a few years ago, to tens per field today. While a 2015 market forecast, conducted by the Photonic Sensor Consortium and published by Information Gatekeepers said their 2014 prediction of a $1.8 billion market by 2018 wouldn’t now be reached, due to the drop in oil prices, the segment was still expected to grow in the longer-term. To read the full article, please visit: Offshore Engineer. ​

​AnTech Launches 3 New Wellhead Outlets For Low Cost Operations

AnTech has responded to industry demand, with the launch of three new products within its best-in-class Wellhead Outlet range. The Type-C Wellhead Outlet, which was designed and developed by the company for use in hazardous environments, has been on the market since 2013 and has achieved great success due to its safe and simple installation, created in compliance with API 6A, ATEX and NACE standards. The Type-C Wellhead Outlet, which was designed and developed by the company for use in hazardous environments, has been on the market since 2013 and has achieved great success due to its safe and simple installation, created in compliance with API 6A, ATEX and NACE standards.  In response to the product’s success and customer feedback, AnTech has launched two further outlets, namely: Types CB and CC. Each adaptation has been carefully designed to suit various working environments including pressure, ranging from 10,000 - 15,000psi, temperatures from -60°C to +160°C, whilst meeting ever-tightening budget constraints. The Type-CB and Type-CC Wellhead Outlets provide solutions to the demands of high technical specifications and the rippling effect of the low oil price. Driven by strong customer feedback from key clients, the company has designed, tested and manufactured both variations to AnTech’s customary high standards. Both options meet API 6A and NACE certification and have been designed for applications in North America, Africa and Europe. With the increasing demands for more data and distributed measurements, there has been a growth in the use of fibre optic cables for permanent monitoring. These solutions are only as good as the connections at surface and AnTech’s  has been designed specifically to meet this demand whilst maintaining the highest safety standards at a cost effective price. In order to meet a lower price point, AnTech has reviewed its current material costs and utilised new manufacturing processes including 3D printing. As a result, the new Type FC outlet incorporates a 3D printed smart system for handling and storing up to four fibres. The unit is suitable for operating in some of the world’s most stringent wellsite environments, as it is certified to both API 6A and NACE, additionally it can hold pressures of up to 10,000 psi. AnTech sales manager, Tim Mitchell said: “AnTech continues to lead the way for innovative design and customer service when it comes to wellhead outlets for permanent monitoring. We’ve worked hard to develop a range of electrical and fibre outlets in order to meet the needs of varying environments around the world, focusing on certification and, of course, a cost effective price point. We’ve listened to our customers’ requirements and as a result have developed market-driven solutions which now create a larger range of products.” Commenting on the cost effective options, AnTech managing director, Toni Miszewski said: “We have realised that we not only need to meet today’s demands but also look towards the future. With the current low oil price, customers are demanding our high certified products but at a lower price point. After considerable research and development, we are pleased to announce three new lower cost options, which result in a wider choice within our product lines. This will help our customers to provide safe solutions to their clients without breaking the bank.” To find out about the range, please click here. ​

Fibre Optic Wellhead Outlet Passes Api 6fb

Fibre Optic Wellhead Outlet Passes Api 6fb

Heated to 950ºC for over 30 minutes, this Fibre Optic Wellhead Outlet is the first of its kind to qualify for the API 6FB standards! This world first will help customers meet increasing safety demands across the globe. This new  can now be incorporated with AnTech’s electrical outlets to create a fire rated hybrid outlet which can be modified to meet customer’s wellhead requirements. The American Petroleum Institute standard 6FB is a specification which establishes procedures for testing and evaluating the pressure containing performance of Wellhead Outlet connections when exposed to fire. The API 6FB test requires that any sealing end connection hold for 30 minutes in a flame condition and then for a 60 minute cool down period. After the assembly is cooled to room temperature the line is de-pressurised and then re-pressurised. During the test the seal must not exceed an API prescribed leakage rate. The charts below show the test conditions and successful response of the seal:Chart 1 - Temperature logging for the calorimeter blocks and thermocouples during the full 60 minute burn and cool down cycle. Chart 2 - Pressure versus time curve for this test. Once the assembly had cooled, the fibre line was de-pressurised followed by re-pressurised and throughout the test, the seal did not exceed the API specified leakage rates and therefore passed this difficult and demanding test. The AnTech provides tailor made training courses for Wellhead Outlets and this now includes our new API 6FB Fibre Wellhead Outlet.
