Improving Zonal Isolation and Cutting the Water Production with the Help of an Engineered Self-Healing Cementing System: A Case Study Review of the First Implementation of its Kind in Kuwait
Abstract:In one of the prolific fields in Kuwait, achieving zonal isolation posed a big challenge mainly due to setting the production liner shoe close to the oil-water-contact zone. Cement bond logs from the primary cementing jobs were not acceptable due to contamination from intruding water leading to a high water-cut in the produced oil. We review the first implementation of a self-sealing Cementing System in Kuwait to improve zonal isolation and cutting the water production.
