    Non-Consolidating Plugging Material For Wellbore and Annulus

    Uploaded by

    SLACKENGINEER
    This document provides an agenda and presentation on Sandaband, a non-consolidating plugging material for wellbores and annuli. The presentation discusses Sandaband's properties as a pumpable, solid-liquid material that can form an impermeable, permanent plug. It also covers Sandaband's qualifications and risk management process, as well as applications for drilling, abandonment, and remedial operations. Case histories demonstrate Sandaband's use for temporary well suspensions, rigless plugging operations, and permanent abandonment of exploration wells.

    The key takeaways are that Sandaband is a non-hazardous well plugging material that has properties like impermeability, ductility and bonds to steel.

    Sandaband has properties like pumpability at high solid content, density of 2.15 g/cc, acts as a solid or liquid depending on shear stress and has long term integrity.

    Sandaband is used for both temporary and permanent well plugging and abandonment applications. It can be used for barriers behind casing and to plug exploratory wells from total depth to above the reservoir.

    Sandaband: Pumpable at extremely high solid content


    Solid continuous phase, Liquid dispersed phase Non segregating
    The wide particle size distribution makes Sandaband impermeable

    Norsok D-010/Oil and Gas UK:


    Permanent well barriers
    A permanent well barrier should have the following
    properties:
    a) Impermeable
    b) Long term integrity.
    c) Non shrinking.
    d) Ductile (non brittle) able to withstand
    mechanical loads/impact.
    e) Resistance to different chemicals/ substances (H2S,
    CO2 and hydrocarbons).
    f) Wetting, to ensure bonding to steel.

    Field Examples

    Temporary OH Suspension - HPHT

    Operator: Statoil
    Field: Kristin, Well: 6406/2-S-3HT3. Reservoir conditions: 915 bar, 175 degC
    Suspension:
    Temporarily suspended with Sandaband in January 2004 to wait for completion
    equipment. Sandaband placed in the reservoir section from 4917 to 5150 mMD
    in 35 deviation.
    Removal:
    Sandaband was completely removed in February 2006 with open ended drill pipe.
    Sandaband plug was washed out under controlled sink rate saving several rig days
    due to no need for milling operations.
    No reservoir damage:
    The well was completed successfully and is the best producer in the Kristin Field.
