We are designing a gas lift set up at one of our well. Gas will be injected through gas lift valves into tubing/casing. current condition suggest that casing is pressurized. Multiple attempts were taken to bleed off casing pressure but it didn't
go below than 600 psig. samples were taken from tubing as well as casing annulus. Fluid analysis suggest there is communication between tubing & casing.
From Well integrity stand point of view, what factors should be taken into account considering the above scenario.
Kindly share opinions.
