Well Flange Separation

ThinJack offers a unique and effective solution for separating well flanges. Utilizing curved steel envelopes less than 3mm thick, ThinJacks are inserted between the two items for well flange separation. Designed to fit between the flange’s bolt holes and the outer edge, ThinJacks provide a precise, controlled and effective separation service.

  • Against All Odds: A 15-Year Partnership Story

    £750,000 and Counting

    Sometimes the most challenging projects begin where others have reached their limits.

    That was certainly the case when ThinJack arrived at a North Sea platform 177km northeast of Aberdeen, where a tree cap flange replacement had been stalled for six months – and counting.

    The numbers were stark: with the well producing around 1,000 barrels per day at $70 per barrel, every day of delay meant £70,000 in lost production. After six months, that added up to roughly £750,000 – and the bill was still climbing.

  • The Power of Just Showing Up: A Legacy Well Story

    One hundred miles east of Aberdeen, a legacy well was getting a second chance at life. The project team was bringing it back online for production, but first they needed to protect four critical seals in the Christmas tree bore – delicate components that could derail the entire operation if damaged.

    The solution seemed obvious enough: lightweight protection that would stop objects falling into the bore and damaging the irreplaceable sealing equipment below. But sometimes the most obvious solutions are the hardest to sell.

  • Protecting 6% of Britain's Gas: When Every Minute Counts

    Sometimes the most critical protection comes in a bright yellow package no bigger than a dustbin. That was certainly the case when ThinJack was called in to safeguard one of Britain's most significant energy projects: a four-well gas drilling platform that would eventually supply 6% of the nation's gas.

    The brief seemed straightforward enough: protect sealing rings, hangers, and wellhead equipment from dropped objects during drilling operations hundreds of kilometres southeast of Aberdeen.
