KRL site maintenance services include preparing the site pre-production, maintaining the site during production and site beautification post-production. Performance each phase of tasks is done in order to maintain the lease site, its structures and surrounding areas. This includes ensuring the property is secured to prevent trespass of unauthorized personal and wildlife onto the site in order to prevent property loss and damage.
KRL offers full engineering design, build, and installation of these facilities along with the capability to operate and maintain them, allowing you to achieve production targets while minimizing capital spend.
For wells where more data is needed to define the reservoir characteristics, or to better define the produced fluids in order to establish design parameters for production facilities, we apply traditional well testing equipment for an extended well test. The opportunity exists to store produced oil for later sale, such that the cost of the extended test may be offset by the sale of oil from production.
The ability to implement your process facility specifications begins by creating a true partnership with you from the beginning. During the initial front-end engineering and design stage, we focus on the design requirements. From the initial requirements, we have the ability to “fast-track” facilities specially designed to meet requirements or provide facilities around standard process modules for well control, separation, fluid conditioning, and disposal
KRL drilling and completion engineers work closely with clients’ geologists and reservoir engineers to prepare cost-effective well designs that reach objectives and ensure maximum productivity. We have successfully designed and managed drilling projects for horizontal and extended-reach wells, deep-water sub-sea wells, reservoirs with complex geological formations, and urban drill sites.
We also provides production enhancement activities, undertaking facility and well economic analyses, well-bore reviews and management of slot recovery projects.

Meeting the fundamental requirement of a fully martensitic microstructure even at large pipe wall thickness requires good hardenability. Cr and Mn are the main alloying elements used to produce good hardenability in conventional heat-treatable steel. However, the requirement for good sulphide stress cracking (SSC) resistance limits their use. Mn tends to segregate during continuous casting and can form large MnS inclusions that reduce hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) resistance. Higher levels of Cr can lead to formation of Cr7C3 precipitates with coarse plate-shaped morphology, which act as hydrogen collectors and crack initiators. Alloying with Molybdenum can overcome the limitations of Mn and Cr alloying. Mo is a much stronger hardener than Mn and Cr, so it can easily recover the effect of a reduced amount of these elements.
Traditionally, OCTG grades were carbon-manganese steels (up to the 55-ksi strength level) or Mo-containing grades up to 0.4% Mo. In recent years, deep well drilling and reservoirs containing contaminants that cause corrosive attack have created a strong demand for higher strength materials resistant to hydrogen embrittlement and SCC. Highly tempered martensite is the structure most resistant to SSC at higher strength levels, and 0.75% is the Mo concentration that produces the optimum combination of yield strength and to SSC resistance(1).
Drilling and exploration have never been more challenging. Drilling equipment must operate in harsher and more remote environments than ever before.

Industrial instrumentation is used to control and monitor conditions including temperature, pressure and fluid levels in processing facilities, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, oil and gas pipelines, and distribution operations. Common applications of oil and gas instrumentation include monitoring the presence of flammable and combustible gases in production and storage areas and monitoring emissions for pollution control. Instrumentation is also used for monitoring and controlling flow in delivery systems.
There are two types of instrumentation used in equipment monitoring: input and output. Input instruments are used to monitor or measure temperature, flow, pressure and levels in equipment including transport pipes and vessels. Output instruments, on the other hand, include controls and alarms that display readings or provide an alert to warn of potentially hazardous situations.
The three primary components of industrial instrumentation are sensors, transducers and transmitters.

Fast, high-quality data for accurate geosteering and formation evaluation. Increase ROP, improve wellbore stability and hole quality, and optimize well placement and reservoir exposure for maximum production—faster.
As the industry expert in LWD technology, KRL creates advanced LWD services that acquire high-quality data for accurate geosteering and more-informed formation evaluation, so you can work proactively as you drill.
Providing wellbore position, drillbit information and directional data, as well as real-time drilling information, KRL uses gyroscopes, magnetometers and accelerometers to determine borehole inclination and azimuth during the actual drilling. The data is then transmitted to the surface through pulses through the mud column (mud pulse) and electromagnetic telemetry. Decoded at the surface, the data can also be transmitted to an offsite location immediately.
With such precise wells being drilled, KRL aids drilling engineers with real-time information so that they can make important decisions while drilling. Geosteering is a relatively new concept of positioning wells according to the geological features in the reservoir obtained through KRL. Now, video is even available to help in the process.

With a breadth of services for well performance evaluation, integrity, and recovery troubleshooting, KRL enables a whole new level of performance for your onshore, offshore and deepwater applications.
KRL's Cased-Hole Wireline Logging Services have a number of advantages including:
A treatment designed to treat the near-wellbore reservoir formation rather than other areas of the production conduit, such as the casing across the production interval, production tubulars or the perforations. Matrix stimulation treatments include acid, solvent and chemical treatments to improve the permeability of the near-wellbore formation, enhancing the productivity of a well. Matrix stimulation is a process of injecting a fluid into the formation, either an acid or solvent at pressures below the fracturing pressure, to improve the production or injection flow capacity of a well.
The goal of a matrix treatment is different in sandstones than in carbonates. In sandstones, matrix treatments restore or improve the natural formation permeability around the wellbore by removing formation damage, by dissolving material plugging the pores or by enlarging the pore spaces. In carbonates, matrix stimulation creates new, highly conductive channels (wormholes) that bypass damage
All wells require intervention at some time in their productive life. Kesiteg Resources Limited expertise and technology enables us to provide innovative and effective well intervention solutions on multiple conveyances.
