Awards

BP Helios Award 2007
In November 2007, just two years after TecWel’s Well Leak Detector (WLD) was launched to the market, TecWel was nominated for the BP Helios Award under the category of innovation. The prestigious Helios award recognises companies that have contributed to BP’s ability to deliver a service of excellence to its customers all around the world. This is a remarkable achievement for TecWel, and we are very proud.

This is how BP reported the news on its web site:

Can you hear me now? Finding ultra-small leaks with ultrasound,
Exploration & Production, USA

The Alaska Wells Team, in partnership with TecWel, has developed a logging technique that identifies ultra-small downhole leaks. Using highly sensitive ultrasound equipment, the team can listen to the 'squeal' created by these leaks.

Finding the leaks allows BP to carry out inexpensive remediation work, saving a minimum of $1.5m per well.

Intervention Technology Award – ICoTA

TecWel is proud to have won the 1st annual Intervention Technology Award from ICoTA. This recognises the best and most innovative value-adding application within well intervention technology.

TecWel won this prize for its now famous WLD after being generously nominated by Jennifer Julian of BP in Alaska.
