PART II: Enhanced perforating – Owen PAC family
PAC Family Solutions Example: B C and D-Annulus Target

• Used to establish communication between the inner
tubing/casing without damaging the casing behind it.
• Available from 1 9/16" through to 7” Gun sizes, ranging from

4 – 18spf. Maximise phasing options up to full 360deg
• Large test database and run history portfolio spanning over 7

years to cover various casing sizes, grades, weights &
phasings for optimal well solution
Evolution & Challenge of annular cement remediation
• The move away from section milling in favour of Perforate, Wash and Cement (PWC) techniques for
annular remedation has brought a step-change in remediation efficiency over the last decade
• Remediating well-bonded annuli can however still be challenging and may result in failure (see SPE
Aberdeen 2017 & SPE-191528 from 2018) with a costly recovery, often requiring section milling
• Can we develop a solution to enable successful remediation via Perf & Wash, regardless of the
degree of annular bond?
next step: Enhanced PWC – TOTAL “PERFORM” PROJECT
• Aim: to decouple annular status from ability to successfully execute and

provide reliable sealing independent of annular condition.
• The PERFORM project (PERFORate ReMediate). 3 main components:
1. Optimised hydraulics – CFD modelling to determine what is optimal
2. Enhanced gun system – develop new gun system to ‘pulverise’ annular cement
3. Enhanced circulation – new generation Perforate, Wash & Cement tools

• ~1750 psi hydro pressure prior to detonation.
• 12644 psi peak pressure.
• All shots successfully penetrated.
• No damage to 13-3/8” casing.
• 0.4563” average EH.
• Flow out of annulus observed – hydraulic
communication established.
• Full circumferential cement damage observed,
further broken up after pressure testing vessel
to 1000 psi.
Part III: enhanced circulation – rig test
• Eccentric vessel logged courtesy of Baker

following perforating.
• Installed test vessel at NORCE Ullrigg test rig
facility, Stavanger.
• Washed vessel courtesy of Archer at 1600
lpm, STPmax 70 bar.
• Able to circulate accross full 10m fully
eccentric interval.
• Best washing at end with most rubbelisation.
• Washing improved with additional passes
(Flow/STP).
• Cuttings very fine.
• Cement placed as per plan, cured overnight.
• Tagged and drilled out hard cement.
• Re-logged vessel.
Baker cbl data: before perf / after Perf / after PWc
• Before perforating: ca. 2 – 6 mV CBL ● Following perforation: ca. 60 – 80mV in the ● After cementing: ca. 10 – 20 mV over
response top half, ca. 25 – 40 mV in the bottom half the majority of the vessel.
• Vessel cemented in controlled conditions at ● Significantly debonded cement ● Substantially remediated cement!
NORCE with standard 1.90 SG / 16 ppg G-
class slurry
• Definitively well bonded cement
Further application 1: eutectic alloy sealing
• Wellstrøm AS designed a bespoke tool concept for TOTAL based

on an electrical heater (preferred due to improved control,
feedback, verification and re-melting capability)
• Rawwater/Wellstrøm plug design is the first qualified to DNV-RP-
203 – Jul 2013, ISO 14310 (V0) & Oil & Gas UK guidelines with
an 'anticipated' 3,000-year-life cast metal seal.
• Testing at Owen Oil Tools demonstrated a high ΔP plug could be
formed in Pulverized cement, remelted and reset using electrical
heater element under simulated downhole conditions.
Successful Proof of Concept, T-1000 Tool
Create an M3 alloy P&A plug and annular seal in a fully cemented annulus that has been perforated and
‘rubbelised’ by the newly developed gun system
Plug to cover the full cross-section of the well and fulfil the same barrier requirements as a Perf & Wash
P&A plug. Casing 9 5/8” in x 13 3/8”.
Downhole conditions: 1700psi, 55°C, Deviation 60°, Setting Depth ~4,000’ TVD
Perforated with 12 SPF 360° ca. 0.45" holes
Test date: September 2020
Demonstrated:
Ability to form a high differential pressure seal
under simulated wellbore conditions
Ability to form a plug in rubbelised annular cement
Ability to heat alloy and control heating electrically
Ability to re-melt and re-set plug

Further application 2: Casing recovery
● Full-scale casing recovery test February 2021 for TOTAL unfortunately

cancelled.
● Further opportunities & collaborations being sought.
Further application 3: RIGLESS through-tubing
• Proposal to further develop ‘Pulverizor’ system for a through tubing 3-1/2” or 4-1/2” x 9-5/8”
application for fully rigless annular remediation on e-line
• 2.125” & 3.125” gun concepts under development.
• TOTAL and Owen Oil Tools invite participation from industry peers to further advance the concepts
shown today.
