Effect of buoyancy and inertia on viscoplastic fluid-fluid displacements in a regular and an irregular eccentric annulus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-09)Casing strings and liners are important subsurface structural components in petroleum and in geothermal wells. After the casing string has been run in hole, it is cemented to the formation by pumping a sequence of spacer ... -
Effect of Calcium Expansive Additives on the Performance of Granite-Based Geopolymers for Zonal Isolation in Oil and Gas Wells
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Geopolymers have emerged as a promising alternative to Portland cement for oil and gas wells. Achieving effective zonal isolation by use of geopolymers may require controlling their expansion. This study investigates the ... -
Experimental Study of Hydraulic Sealability and Shear Bond Strength of Cementitious Barrier Materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-06)In this experimental study, two different cementitious materials, including (i) a class of expansive cement currently used for plug and abandonment (P&A) operations and (ii) a non-cement-based naturally occurring rock, ... -
Pipe Viscometer for Continuous Viscosity and Density Measurement of Oil Well Barrier Materials
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The barrier material is a crucial component for wells, as it provides mechanical support to the casing and prevents the uncontrolled flow of formation fluids, ensuring zonal isolation. One of the essential prerequisites ... -
Plug & abandonment of offshore wells: Ensuring long-term well integrity and cost-efficiency
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10)There is an upcoming "P&A wave" of wells that need to be permanently plugged and abandoned, especially in mature, offshore areas such as the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico. It is important to ensure that plugged wells do not ... -
Restoration of annular zonal isolation using localized casing expansion (LCE) technology: Treatment of near-horizontal test sections containing a free-water channel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021-11)Fluid migration behind casings is a well integrity problem that can result in sustained casing pressure, undetected leaks to the environment, and potentially very difficult remediation attempts. Traditional methods for ... -
A review on geothermal wells: Well integrity issues
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12)Geothermal energy is an important potential and a strategic area for developing activities regarding renewable energy and future studies. It involves a great potential and a main role in the worldwide energy sector, ...
