Cost Reduction

Anyone who has tackled a gas migration problem knows that successful remediation is usually only achieved by solving a complex down hole puzzle. Minimizing costs while solving the puzzle requires an accurate execution with the fewest steps. Vent Nanny V3 monitors vent activity in real time during all stages of a remediation program, providing critical step and cost saving feedback from each down hole operation. Once an intervention is complete, patient post monitoring is key to assessing it’s success and can dramatically reduce overall remediation cost, as clearly identified in the subsequent Application Example.

Application Example

In this success story, several base line flow and shut-in periods were recorded to ensure stability before attempting down hole interventions. Annular channel access, through an under-balanced abrasive jet cut, is identified by the sharp decrease in pressure on the shut-in vent. After a successful resin squeeze, the vent pressure climbs as the trapped gas/liquid volume to surface is compressed. Initially, there is concern given the higher pressure and subsequent flow rate that is close to the pre-intervention rate. However, by employing patience and by monitoring several Vent Nanny enabled flows and shut-ins, it becomes clear that the gas migration source has been stopped, and the flow since the intervention is actually due to bleed down of significant annular storage and/or charged up hole zones.

How many successful interventions like this one have been deemed a failure because a simple bubble test done immediately after the down hole intervention showed little or no reduction in flow?
