Basic Concepts and Definitions
What is Well Integrity? The Condition and Quality of the well structure achieved through the application of technical, operational and organizational solutions, such as the use of competent pressure seals, to reduce the risk of uncontrolled release of formation fluids into another formation, to the surface, or to the environment.
How the Well Integrity is established? By implementing and maintaining well barriers to prevent uncontrolled release of fluids from the formation while performing well operations or while the well is inactive or abandoned
Basic Concepts and Definitions
What is a Well Barrier Element? Any device or element (such as fluid column, casing, BOPs) that alone or in combination with other elements is capable of containing well pressure and preventing uncontrolled flow of fluids or gases from the formation, into another formation, or to the surface or environment Casing Head
Casing Hanger
Casing String
Casing String, Hanger & Well Head
Surface BOP Stack
Rotating Control Device (RCD) for MPD
Slick Line Lubricator
Basic Concepts and Definitions
What is a Well Barrier Envelope ? The combination of barrier elements (such as casing, BOP, well head, mud column, etc.) which working together, form an envelope that prevents uncontrolled flow of fluids or gases from the formation into another formation or to the surface or the environment. Components of barrier envelope: • Last casing set in the well • Cement behind casing, • Formation below casing shoe, • Casing hanger, • Well head assembly, • BOP stack installed at surface.
Basic Concepts and Definitions Several barrier elements may be installed in the well and available to contain pressure or to prevent flow
But they will only serve as a containing barrier when they are interlinked to form a barrier envelope that blocks all possible leaking paths for pressure and flow
If one Barrier Element fails, the whole Barrier Envelope also fails
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers
What is a Primary Well Barrier Envelope? Element or combination of Barrier Elements in direct (Primary) contact with the potential outflow source, i.e. the elements that “see” pressure during well operations
Conventional drilling
Logging in cased hole
Primary Well Barrier is fluid column which is in direct contact with the outflow source.
Primary Well Barrier is formed by those elements which are in direct contact with pressure in the well: • cemented casing • well head assembly • pressured lubricator • wire line valves
It controls or overcomes the formation pressure
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers Examples of Primary Well Barrier for Drilling, Production and Well Intervention: Primary Barrier consists of all elements that are in direct contact with formation pressure and prevent flow during well operations. They can be: • • • • •
Drilling or Completion Fluid Column Production Casing or Tubing Well Head Assembly & Valves Casing or Tubing Hangers Lubricator and Pressure Head, etc.
Well Intervention
Drilling the Well
Producing the Well
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers
What is a Secondary Well Barrier Envelope? Element or combination of Elements defined as the ULTIMATE defense should any of the Primary Barrier Elements fails. It is the LAST and ULTIMATE barrier envelope providing well Integrity to be activated. It is not necessarily barrier number two in a sequence
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers Secondary Barrier: Redundant Barrier, outside the primary barrier, to be closed as last resort Well Intervention
Examples of Secondary Well Barrier Envelopes for Drilling, Production and Well Intervention For all well operations having potential uncontrolled flow of formation fluids to the surface, a second (external) barrier shall be defined and installed to be activated as the Last Resort for containment of formation pressure and flow. Drilling Well
Well Production
Basic Concepts and Definitions
What is a Well Control ?
The Well Control can be seen as all actions conducted to restore the Primary Well Barrier and to recover the well integrity lost by the activation of well barrier envelopes Well is controlled (static) Formation pressure is contained by the Primary Barrier (fluid column)
When the primary barrier in wellbore is lost The hydrostatic column of fluid is insufficient and formation pressure is traveling up the well bore.
The Secondary Barrier Envelope (production casing, casing hanger, well head, and BOP ) is activated to prevent uncontrolled flow to the surface or to the environment
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers
What is an Additional (Intermediate) Well Barrier Element? An Alternative Barrier element to be activated when Primary Barrier is Lost,prior to activating the Secondary (Ultimate Barrier)
2. Well Barriers – Definitions and Principles
Properties Requirements of Well Barriers e. The Useand of Barriers in Well Control Operations
Primary Well Barrier intact Fluid acting as Primary Barrier
Primary Barrier is Lost The first remedy would be to install Safety Valve on String and close the Annular BOP (Additional Barrier)
Primary Barrier is Lost If Annular BOP fails, one Pipe Ram would be closed (Additional Barrier element)
Primary Barrier is Lost Ultimate Resource would be cut/drop pipe by closing Shear-Seal Rams (Last / Ultimate Barrier)
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers
What is a Common Well Barrier Element? A Barrier Element that simultaneously is part of the Primary and the Secondary Well Barrier Envelopes If the common element fails, both barriers will also fail, Primary & Secondary Barriers are not independent
Example : The Master Valve installed in the base of Christmas Tree is a Common Well Barrier Element It is in direct contact with the pressured fluid in the well (PRIMARY BARRIER) and Simultaneously it forms part of the surface equipment that ultimately may contain flow and pressure (SECONDARY BARRIER) Adding more valves on top of well head will only add redundancy to the Master Valve
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers
For a producer well, the Master Valve is part of the Secondary Barrier and the DHSV part of the Primary Barrier. No common barrier element exits in this case
DHSV
For an abandoned well, the cemented casing, and plug set above the zone form the Primary Barrier while the DHSV is part of the Secondary Barrier. No common barrier element is present
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers – NORSOK10
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers “WBAC” or “Well Barrier Element Acceptance Criteria” is the collection of all organizational, technical, and operational requirements and guidelines that need to be fulfilled by a given element to qualify as a well barrier, irrespective of type of activity and operation. When Barrier Elements are provided by SLB, they must comply with the Acceptance Criteria established by the Segment responsible for their design, construction, installation or maintenance The “WBEAC” for each Barrier Element is established by means of 11 “Features”, as follows: A. Description
G. Impairment
B. Function
H. Maintenance
C. Design, Construction & Selection
I. Competency and Training
D. Initial Validation
J. Risk Assessment
E. Use
K. Certification Requirement
F. Monitoring
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers A Barrier Element (Envelope) is considered as such ONLY if it can be
Tested
Monitored
Restored
• By applying the “Well Barrier Element Acceptance Criteria” (WBEAC) defined by the Segment Responsible for the installation and maintenance, to verify its integrity
• By direct observation, to establish its condition and working status at all times
• By fixing or replacing the lost barrier when it fails during well operations
Properties and Requirements of Well Barriers Well Activities and Operations SHOULD STOP when: •
Having a weakened, failed / lost well barrier element or well barrier envelope
•
Hydrocarbon gas level in the air exceeds the specified limit applicable or defined
•
There is a HIGH probability of exceeding allowable operating limits of well control equipment or other critical equipment
Apply Q-Stop whenever the ongoing operation is considered unsafe or the level of risk is high or unacceptable
Wireline Well Integrity Standard To promote the two barrier philosophy, SLB Wireline will: ■
Ensure that a primary barrier is available above/in the well
■
Identify the secondary barrier mechanism to be activated should the primary barrier fail
■
Include a risk assessment and contingency plan for any potential well control situations that may have increased risk as a result of wireline operations

Lack of Barriers Exemption Process
When there is a lack of barriers (ONE BARRIER ONLY ): • A risk analysis and mitigation (HARC), and • An exemption raised and approved (at Segment HQ level) prior to the commencement of the job
When there are NO BARRIERS and the well is capable of discharging hydrocarbons or fluids to the surface or the external environment or if the flow potential of the well is uncertain: • The job in the well cannot be performed • No Segment level exemptions are allowed • Schlumberger Limited level approval required
Wireline Well Integrity & Well Barriers The following situations are acceptable to have fewer than two barriers: No Exemption 1. Operations prior to surface casing installation. Surface casing is the first casing installed on a well for pressure containment. It is set within competent formations and allows the installation of BOPs prior to drilling into potentially hydrocarbon bearing and/or pressure formations
2.
Air filled hole operations Wireline logging in air filled holes with no secondary barrier installed is only allowed under the following conditions: • Only in known land development fields. • Wells classified as No Flow Conditions. • Gas monitors are required at wellsite to ensure Gas concentration around the wellhead is below the level specified by the local regulation or customer.
3.
Fully cased well under the following conditions: • •
Wells are fully cased and have no communication to the formation (i.e. un-perforated and bottom seal/plug tested to customer satisfaction) Customer to agree that these wells are not capable of discharging hydrocarbons or fluids to the surface.
