Case Study
Cement Dump Bailer Total Elgin-20/30C-Well G8Y
Omega Case History Operators Challenge Total’s Elgin field is located in the Central Graben area of the UK North Sea about 149 miles (240 kilometers) east of Aberdeen. During a recent Intervention Kill Programme on G8Y, a cement plug barrier was required in the 5.00” 23ppf tubing at a depth of 4,478meters. The well had a 2.90” restriction which prevented easy access to the target depth. In addition the well temperature at the target depth was estimated at being circa 160°C. A Slickline deployable Cement Dump Bailer was required to provide a 10ft cement plug above the 2.80” OD cement retainer. Omega`s Solution A Slickline deployed electronically activated Cement Dump Bailer (CDB) was mobilized for use on the G8Y well. 6ft long Cement tubes with an OD of 2.75” were
