Independent global completions service company Tendeka has been awarded a five-year contract extension to supply a major operator with zonal isolation technologies for all fields in Oman.

The multi-million-dollar contract extends a long-term partnership between the two companies, which was first established in 2002.

Tendeka’s SwellRight swellable packers help reduce well construction costs, extend well life, and improve well integrity.

Osama Abazeed, Tendeka’s Area Manager for the GCC said: “The operator is one of our longest partnerships and we are extremely proud that, following this extension, we will have worked together for more than 20 years.

“This contract demonstrates our expertise in the zonal isolation market for the Middle East and showcases the quality of the technology and the service we provide. These sustainable solutions are recognized around the world to help reduce costs and extend the life of wells.

“This award coincides with the special achievement of installing our 10,000th swellable packer in Oman in February, demonstrating the importance of the Omani market for our technologies.”

Tendeka’s swellable packers provide long-term stability and reliability required to isolate producing zones. The retrievable option has been designed to isolate the wellbore while enabling the easy removal of the entire assembly from the wellbore without any milling operations.

The company also offers SwellRight Ultra Packer, a cost-effective solution for high pressure applications, providing the highest-pressure rating on the swellable market.

Enabling operators to utilize smaller pup joints, the Ultra Packers can effectively reduce the amount of rubber element required for high pressure applications, for use in horizontal and vertical wells.
