Well Intervention & Technical Servicing
Upstream Support Standards: API 6A / ISO 10423

1. Well Intervention, Slickline & Wellhead Servicing

Operational Scope & Overview: Avenora’s Well Intervention Division provides turnkey mechanical solutions engineered to safely restore downhole production, mitigate scale buildup, and extend wellbore operating life. Operating in high-pressure environments up to 15,000 PSI, our specialized crews handle complex slickline runs, downhole valve replacements, and wellhead component refurbishments without requiring costly full-rig workovers.

Engineering & Execution Methodology: We utilize advanced hydraulic slickline units equipped with electronic depth and tension monitoring systems to execute precise downhole operations. Our field engineers perform sub-surface safety valve (SSSV) retrievals, plug setting, gas lift valve changeouts, and mechanical bailing. For wellhead servicing, our teams conduct hot-bolting, flange refacing, seal replacement, and gate valve re-packing while maintaining continuous well control through certified blowout preventer (BOP) stacks.

Quality Assurance & Safety Controls: Every wellhead intervention is backed by rigorous pressure testing protocols. Before pressure containment is restored, systems undergo hydrostatic testing up to 1.5 times the maximum rated working pressure using non-toxic glycol-water mixtures. Non-destructive testing (NDT), including dye penetrant and magnetic particle inspection, is systematically applied across all high-stress load-bearing components to identify fatigue prior to re-commissioning.

Value Delivered: By choosing targeted slickline and wellhead intervention over conventional workover rigs, our clients consistently minimize deferred production, reduce footprint emissions, and lower intervention expenditure by up to 40%.

2. Pipeline Integrity, Hot Tapping & Repair

Operational Scope & Overview: Midstream pipeline networks require constant monitoring and proactive maintenance to prevent catastrophic leaks, preserve flow assurance, and maintain regulatory compliance. Avenora provides complete pipeline integrity management, covering overland transport lines, subsea gathering systems, and urban distribution mains.

Engineering & Technical Field Execution: Our integrity teams specialize in live-line modifications, including hot tapping and line stopping (stopple) procedures. This technology allows us to branch new connections or isolate damaged pipe sections under full operating pressure without shutting down flow to downstream operators. We also install full-encirclement weldover sleeves, composite wrappings, and cathodic protection (CP) ground beds to mitigate soil-to-pipe galvanic corrosion.

Advanced Non-Destructive Testing (NDT): Utilizing Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing (PAUT), Automated Ultrasonic Testing (AUT), and Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) tool tracking, our NDT inspectors quantify internal corrosion pitting, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), and seam weld defects with millimeter precision. Detailed fitness-for-service (FFS) evaluations are performed under API 579 guidelines to determine remaining safe operating margins.

Value Delivered: Our non-intrusive repair and diagnostic capabilities allow midstream operators to eliminate costly product flaring, avoid unplanned system shutdowns, and extend trunkline operational lifespans safely.

Storage Tank Terminal Maintenance
Downstream Logistics Standards: API 650 / API 653

3. Storage Tank Turnarounds & Terminal Management

Operational Scope & Overview: Bulk liquid storage terminals and tank farms serve as critical buffers within the global energy supply chain. Avenora provides full lifecycle maintenance, tank inspection, structural repair, and capacity expansion services for above-ground storage tanks (ASTs) storing crude oil, refined products, and petrochemical feedstocks.

Turnaround Execution & Mechanical Overhauls: During scheduled tank turnarounds, our crews execute mechanized degassing, sludge extraction, and hydro-cleaning to prepare vessels for entry. Certified API 653 inspectors perform floor plate floor-scanner (MFL) evaluations, shell wall thickness mapping, and roof support structure integrity checks. When defects are identified, we perform shell plate cutouts, bottom plate replacements, and floating-roof seal repairs.

Environmental Compliance & Containment: Protecting ground soil and surrounding waterways is integral to terminal management. Avenora installs secondary containment geotextile membranes, upgrades tank dike walls, and fits modern internal floating roofs equipped with primary and secondary seals to minimize volatile organic compound (VOC) vapor losses.

Value Delivered: We help storage terminal operators maintain continuous compliance with environmental mandates, maximize tank storage volume, and safely extend turn-around intervals from 5 to 10+ years.
