DX-I Tool
The Vortex downhole inline (DX-I) tool is ideal for horizontal applications, especially in liquids-prone areas in the S (or heel-to dip) section. Placed at the end of the tubing in the start of the kick-off leg, this tool produces the same benefits -- flattened decline curve, reduced flowing bottom hole pressure, reduced surfactant use, and improved production (dependent on the well) -- found in vertical DX installations. This DX-I tool can also be set in-between tubing sections and can act as a booster tool for the end-of-tubing (DX-EoT) tool in deeper well applications. This DX-I tool cannot be run in live. A case study on horizontal applications is available here. If you’re ready to submit a downhole input form, you can do so here. The Vortex team will run your numbers on its proprietary surface calculator and will respond to you (typically within 48 hours) with a prediction on the expected benefits by adding the Vortex tools to your line. Accurate data is necessary for an accurate prediction of application success. |
