Efficiently decommission your well—with integrity
It’s inevitable. Eventually every well, offshore or onshore, will have to be decommissioned. And you don’t always know from the start whether the plug and abandonment (P&A) will be a straightforward exercise or a complex, capex-intensive operation to achieve compliance with guidelines and regulatory requirements. Complicating the situation—especially in older wells—is that critical data is usually lacking. Advance knowledge of whether rigless P&A could be conducted would significantly drive cost reduction and cost predictability.
Minimizing P&A operational time and spend begins with barrier evaluation. Our proven suite of scalable Epilogue technologies and services enable evaluation and assessment of well integrity to identify rigless opportunities —paving the way for sealing each well with confidence and cost control.
Over many decades, we've established a global presence for our extensive technology portfolio with well engineering and integrated digital capabilities while also constructing an open partnership network.
Confidently seal the well with advanced cementing and resin-based solutions that maintain a permanent, leak-free barrier, even if the stress regime changes or fluid contact occurs.
Thoroughly assess cement and casing without necessarily removing the inner pipe to economically guide P&A.
Definitively determine well integrity in a single run without removing inner pipe
Evaluate the A- and B-annulus in a single run for reduced costs in P&A well decommissioning operations.
Sonically measure the bond between casing and cement including slim and HPHT wells
