Understanding Gas Migration Control
Gas migration control is a critical aspect of well cementing in the oil and gas industry. The risk of gas migration can lead to serious issues such as lost circulation, compromised well integrity, and even catastrophic blowouts. To address this challenge, Schlumberger's Petrel offers a comprehensive suite of gas migration control solutions that focus on risk evaluation and tailored actions.
Risk Evaluation with CEMENTICS Gas Migration Analysis Module
The CEMENTICS Gas Migration Analysis module software is a powerful tool that evaluates the severity of gas migration risks during the cementing process. By considering factors like pressure decay limits and cement slurry setting processes, this software provides detailed insights into the potential for gas migration. Integrated with the CEMENTICS zonal isolation software, the Gas Migration Analysis module offers a holistic assessment of gas zones, automatically identifying the highest risk level and providing actionable recommendations.
Tailored Solutions and Gas Migration Control Additives
Petrel's gas migration control solutions include a range of additives like D620 GASBLOK, D500 LT GASBLOK, D168, and D193, designed to enhance cementing performance and mitigate gas migration risks. These additives address issues such as fluid loss and gas migration, improving cement slurry properties for optimal zonal isolation. By incorporating these additives into the cementing process, operators can achieve a more reliable and cost-effective well cementing solution tailored to their specific requirements.
Case Studies and Success Stories
Schlumberger's gas migration control solutions have been proven effective in real-world applications. Case studies like Lukoil's cost savings of USD 6.8 million through the use of extended-reach multilateral well technology showcase the benefits of utilizing Petrel's solutions for gas migration control. Additionally, success stories such as Dragon Oil's elimination of sustained casing pressure demonstrate the impact of implementing tailored gas migration control strategies in well construction.
