The Importance of Well Integrity Evaluation
Ensuring the integrity of wells is crucial in the oil and gas industry to prevent potential leaks, maintain operational safety, and protect the environment. Cement and casing play significant roles in creating barriers within wells to prevent the migration of fluids and gases. Schlumberger's Petrel offers advanced solutions for well integrity evaluation, focusing on intelligent cement and casing evaluation to confirm hydraulic isolation and identify potential issues.
Advanced Evaluation Techniques
Petrel's intelligent cement and casing evaluation utilizes innovative technologies such as cement bond logs (CBL) and ultrasonic evaluation tools to assess the bond between cement and casing. These tools provide high-resolution azimuthal coverage, allowing the detection of cement channels as small as 5°. Additionally, electromagnetic casing inspection tools are used to identify corrosion and wear, while multifinger mechanical caliper tools offer accurate measurements of casing internal diameter in real-time.
Real-Time Insights and Decision-Making
Wellbore Insights on Delfi™, Schlumberger's digital platform, enables real-time interpretation and contextualization of wellbore data. This allows operators to quickly analyze data, confirm well barrier status, and make informed decisions without delays. With autonomous processing and interactive online reports, Petrel ensures timely and confident decision-making while the tools are still downhole.
