Challenge
OBJECTIVE: To seal micro annular gas migration between the 13 3/8” X 26”
annulus and proceed with decommissioning of well. APPLICATION: Prior to
pumping Liquid Bridge Plug®, a window from 167’ to 178’ was milled from the 13
3/8” out to the 26” casing. One foot of sand sand was dumped into the bottom of
the window to provide a uniform platform for the resin. A total of 361 gallons or ten
feet of linear fill of Liquid Bridge Plug® was pumped inside the window and positive
pressure maintained on the resin for forty eight hours. RESULTS: After waiting on
Liquid Bridge Plug® to cure, SIP was released and the well was monitored for
bubbles. Bubble Check – 13 3/8” X 26” annulus: 30 minute observation no bubbles
for 12 minutes then small bubbling for remainder of 30 minute period. Observe well
after nine hours, no bubbles, released from rig. A surface cement plug was set as
per MMS requirements and decommissioning of the well proceeded.
