Guards

Standoff guards use augmented channels to shield cables and/or lines that traverse over large outer diameter equipment, preventing damage during installation or completion retrieval. All of our guards are customized for their associated equipment, and field installation is quick and simple using air-driven hydraulic tools to compress collars and secure taper pins.

Forum’s standoff guards are part of our Cannon Services product line and extensive MultiLift artificial lift solutions catalog.

Benefits

Provides tailored solutions to specific well designs.
Can be refurbished, extending guard life and reducing secondary workover cost.
Adapts to both cost-effective and customized solutions to fit completion budget.
Installs quickly, reducing installation time.

Features

Broad size range (fits tubing with outside diameters of 2.375-10.75 inches or greater)
Compatible for deployment on tubing or flow couplings
Multiple designs accommodate all cable/line configurations
Options for corrosion-resistant alloy and other specialty steels
Secure pipe fit via taper pin

Applications

Safety valves
Chemical injection mandrels
Gas lift mandrels
Flow control valves

Cross Coupling Protector

Downhole cables are especially vulnerable during installation and retrieval. Our cross-coupling protectors support virtually any configuration of control lines, electric submersible pumps, umbilical lines or encapsulated bundles in the wellbore. The protector’s channel shields cables and lines as they transition across the coupling, helping to prevent damage during installation or retrieval of completions. The compressive fit design accommodates oversize or undersize tubing per American Petroleum Institute specs and securely engages the cable or lines to the tubing.

For your most challenging well environments, Super 25 cross-coupling protectors provide the same functionality as our standard protectors with the added benefit of superior corrosion resistance. No matter which configuration you choose, installation is quick and easy with air-driven hydraulic tools.

Forum’s cross-coupling ESP cable protectors are part of our Cannon Services product line and extensive Forum Multilift Solutions catalog.

Mid Joint Clamp

For superior downhole cable protection, pair Forum’s mid-joint clamps with cross-coupling protectors on the tubing string. Installed mid-joint on the tubing, these clamps can secure virtually any configuration of control lines or cables in the well. Per American Petroleum Institute specs, the compressive-fit design accommodates oversize or undersize tubing and securely engages the cable or lines to the tubing.

Forum’s mid-joint clamps are part of our Cannon Services product line and extensive Forum Multilift Solutions catalog.

Benefits

Prevents costly damage to cables or capillaries during installation and retrieval.
Provides high reusability, increasing cost savings on well workovers.
Protects even the most complex offshore/subsea well designs.
Installs quickly and easily, reducing workover time and cost.

Features

Designs to accommodate all cable and line configurations
Options for corrosion-resistant alloy and other specialty steels
Multiple channel designs available to separate multi-line configurations

Applications

Artificial lift
Permanent gauges
Intelligent wells
Chemical injection
Safety valves
Geophones

Low Profile ESP Cable Protector

Our low-profile ESP cable protectors provide the same industry-leading versatility and features as our standard protectors, but with a slimmer running profile. The channel shields cables and lines as they transition across the coupling, reducing damage during installation and retrieval of completions. By utilizing a compressive-wave design, the protector offers a tighter tolerance range on the tubing string.

Forum’s low-profile protectors are part of our Cannon Services product line and extensive Forum Multilift Solutions catalog.

Benefits

Prevents costly damage to cables or capillaries during completion installation and retrieval
Provides high reusability, increasing cost savings on well workovers
Installs successfully in even the most complex offshore/subsea well designs
Provides incrementally smaller running diameter in tight casing drifts and other restrictions

Features

Interchangeable designs (fits tubing with outside diameters of 3.5-13.75 inches or greater)
Designed to accommodate all cable and line configurations
Used primarily in single-channel configurations
Suitable for high-angle wellbores
Available in custom configurations
Options for corrosion-resistant alloy and other specialty steels

Applications

Safety valves
Chemical injection
Gas Lift
Permanent gauges
Intelligent wells
Geophone cables
