Following the successful proof of concept of the closed system dual casing perforate, wash and cement for environmental plug application in 2018 (SPE-193989-MS), the same system was optimized for 2 subsea wells to isolate a gas sand behind 2 casings (9-5/8" × 13-3/8" × 16" open hole).
Learning from recent operations, it was discovered that there is significant improvement achievable with specialized gun system, and refined washing and cementing parameters. Such improvement was critical to the success of the annular remediation and thus, the long-term isolation of the gas sand.
The first successful closed system dual casing perforate, wash and cement for annular isolation is discussed and evaluated in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
