Abstract:Sustained pressure in oil and gas wells remains a serious challenge that directly impacts the well integrity. This phenomenon commonly appears in aged wells. Well completion elements provide the required isolation to protect the well. Cement prohibits fluid movement between the subsurface formations. Additionally, mechanical isolation packers are employed to alleviate the probability of tubing/annulus communication. In the Arabian Gulf, it is attributable to the presence of a shallow-depth aquifer that contain… Show more
