Well Integrity Technical Section

Hello Ainur,

Thanks for sharing the minutes of your TS board meeting.

I noted:

- Planning an SPE webinar on Cementing aspects of Well Integrity. Ainur has reached out to a potential presenter – Ahmed Tawil, Cementing Intouch manager in Schlumberger, who agreed on presenting. Agenda to be prepared and shared with the team. Timeline – June (TBC)

Pls allow me to comment on what I see might be an angle for discussion or coverage.

The following could be of particular interest for our TS's on WI and P&A: "How to cement 1- for Well Integrity and 2- for P&A" and perhaps even more critically: "How not to cement for WI and P&A"...

We have plenty of knowledge about SCP and SCVF's during the Operated phase, then eventually issues having to section mill or perf, wash and cement during P&A (in case of dubious isolation) to clearly identify what not to do, and consequently what to do, during the initial well construction phase.

Is that something which could fit in your event above? Or did you have something different in mind? In any case I thought I'd mention this as I see some overlap between the 2 TS's (WI and P&A).

Hello Pierre-Edouard,
Thank you for your comment. Indeed, this is an overlap between two TS. We are currently finalizing the date (move to July) and agenda for the webinar, and once confirmed will work on the content. I believe P&A could be part of the agenda, although not sure how much could we cover this time, I will check with Ahmed Tawil. 
That said, I think it deserves a whole separate webinar in future ;-). 
Ainur

I would be happy to help out on a webinar with the problems we're seeing with cement P&A in Permian basin. 

Hello Sarah,

Thank you for offering, this is interesting. I will PM to you with my e-mail details, so that we could follow up.

Regards,
Ainur

Hello Sarah,

It would be interesting to capture the cement placement and verification challenges.

@Pierre-edouard Vincent A webinar dedicated for P&A wells would be very much appreciated. We now have a brand new P&A technical section and would be appropriate to do a webinar for cementing considerations during design & construction stage, which will avoid the barrier placement and verifications challenges during the P&A stage.

Regards 

Hi Manish,
Thanks for your suggestion - I agree there would be plenty to discuss and it could be a great event... We've touched base with @Ainur Kaken and may try to coordinate an event between the Well Integrity and the P&A TS's. First challenge will be to try and keep it short ;)
More to come - we'll keep you posted.
