STX-60 Well Testing Tool
Well Testing Tool with an integral down-hole shut-in capability and setting tool, enabling both more advanced permeability testing (e.g. IFO) and multiple straddle testing in one trip (making significant operational savings). Can be run on rods or through-the-bit in P and H sized wire line systems or on rods for N size. Modular single/straddle format with a wide range of packer options – including medium pressure SWiPS series and high-pressure versions for rock stress testing. Can circulate while testing and check rods integrity prior to testing.
The STX-60 is the smallest diameter version of IPI’s ST range. It employs a multi-cycle, four stage valving mechanism that allows fluid communication to either the packers, annulus, test interval or provides complete shut in. What makes the STX unique is that it can be run:
As with all other setting tools in IPI’s range, shifting between different stages is accomplished by axial movement only – no rotation is required. The multi-stage functionality enables
multiple tests in a single run without pulling out of hole.
Our STX-60 and SWiPS line of tools are suitable for coring projects, available in N/H/P core sizing. Both sets of tooling have provisions for data logging transducers and offer options for a variety of permeability testing needs.
