Well Completion

Abstract A study was made of completion practices and corrosion control measures for gas wells with tubing pressures in excess of 5000 psi. A survey of 12 producing companies was made to determine what had been done to combat the problem. This paper reflects the results of this survey and includes data collected from 166 wells. Topics discussed include design problems in well installation, treatment with corrosion inhibitors, corrosion inhibitor efficacy evaluation, well characteristics, casing and tubing programs, and inspection methods. Data are given by company on the number of P-grade casing and tubing failures in service in well, failures occurring during hydrostatic tests, percent rejects of inspected pipe, and cost of failures of casing and tubing. 8.4.2

Legal Condition

This case presents the stakeholder conflicts that emerge during the development and subsequent reclamation of abandoned natural gas wells in Wyoming where split estate, or the separation of surface land and mineral rights from one another, occurs. From 1998 to 2008, the Powder River Basin of northeastern Wyoming experienced an energy boom as a result of technological innovation that enabled the extraction of coalbed methane (CBM). The boom resulted in over 16,000 wells being drilled in this 20,000 square-mile region in a single decade. As of May 2017, 4,149 natural gas wells now sit orphaned in Wyoming as a result of industry bankruptcy and abandonment. The current orphaned wells crisis was partially enabled by the patchwork of surface and mineral ownership in Wyoming that is a result of a legal condition referred to as split estate. As the CBM boom unfolded in this landscape and then began to wane, challenges emerged most notably surrounding stalled reclamation activities. This case illuminates these challenges highlighting two instances when split estate contributed to issues between landowners and industry operators which escalated to litigation.
