In 2006, 18 subject wells were selected to increase the Mean Time between Tubing Leaks by strategically installing EndurAlloy Tubing. From August 4, 2006 through August 31, 2008, failure performance was monitored for these 18 wells. All 18 wells were initially installed with bare 2-3/8" tubing and 6 joints of 2-3/8" EndurAlloy on the bottom. As a result of 19 well service events (17 failures and 2 non-failures) in 10 wells, initial tubing designs were modified from the original design.
