Well Integrity

Abstract Well integrity is one of the most critical elements for extending the producible life of a well. A healthy well enables optimization of productivity, enhanced oil recovery, trial tests of new technologies, and much more. Factors such as external corrosive aquifers, internal corrosion, corrosive hydrocarbons, cement bond damage, solids and sand production, and others are considered the main integrity dangers worldwide. When well integrity is affected, not only economic risks but also risks to health, environment and safety are probable. Well integrity is an objective achieved by optimum design and construction of the well after studying and assessing all possible hazards; effective monitoring of the well behavior while it's under production; and timely intervention when an integrity problem is detected. Evaluating all the aspects of well integrity during well operation is crucial. Cyclic surveillance is important to be followed, including wellhead pressures/annuli surveys, temperature surveys, corrosion logs, wellbore clearance, and well fluid samples, among other activities. With the help of smart and integrated systems, production engineers can have much better control over well integrity and be proactive in making timely decisions prior to any unforeseen events. The smart system keeps the well surveillance records, risk-rank the wells, and sets KPIs to tackle necessary actions wherever applicable. The developed system immediately triggers any threat on well integrity when it occurs.

Carbon capture and storage is key for sustainable economic growth. CO2-enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods are efficient practices to reduce emissions while increasing oil production. Although it has been successfully implemented in carbonate reservoirs, its effect on wettability and multiphase flow is still a matter of research. This work investigates the wettability alteration by carbonated water injection (CWI) on a coquina carbonate rock analogue of a Pre-salt reservoir, and its consequences in the flow of oil. The rock was characterized by routine petrophysical analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance. Moreover, micro-computed tomography was used to reconstruct the pore volume, capturing the dominant flow structure. Furthermore, wettability was assessed by contact angle measurement (before and after CWI) at reservoir conditions. Finally, pore-scale simulations were performed using the pore network modelling technique. The results showed that CWI altered the wettability of the carbonate rock from neutral to water-wet. In addition, the simulated relative permeability curves presented a shift in the crossover and imbibition endpoint values, indicating an increased flow capacity of oil after CWI. These results suggest that the wettability alteration mechanism contributes to enhancing the production of oil by CWI in this system.

The features of evaluation of the effectiveness of flow deflection technologies of enhanced oil recovery methods. It is shown that the effect of zeroing component intensification of fluid withdrawal leads to an overestimation of the effect of flow deflection technology (PRP). Used in oil companies practice PRP efficiency calculation, which consists in calculating the effect on each production well responsive to subsequent summation effects, leads to the selective taking into account only the positive components of PRP effect. Negative constituents — not taken into account and it brings overestimate over to overstating of efficiency. On actual examples the groundless overstating and understating of efficiency is shown overestimate at calculations on applied in petroleum companies by a calculation.
