Isolate Leak in 20-in. Production Casing by Performing Multiple Casing Tests
WELL INTERVENTION DRILLING & COMPLETIONS UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES RESERVOIR OPTIMIZATION Isolate Leak in 20-in. Production Casing by Performing Multiple Casing Tests Multi-Set TAM-J Location: Deepwater Gulf of Mexico CHALLENGE: A Deepwater Gulf of Mexico operator ran and cemented 5,500 ft. of 20-in. premium connection casing that failed a casing integrity test.
