RAZORRAM & RAZORBLADE Does the Job in North Sea
RAZOR recently mobilised the 3.600" RAZORRAM tool to the UK continental shelf to fish a high expansion retrievable bridge plug which had become stuck in a lower completion nipple. Two RAM runs were made to stroke the plug into the release position which enabled the tool to be pushed downhole. The plug became stuck again in the tailpipe however the customer chose to punch above the plug with the RAZORBLADE tool to bring the well back into production.
