As oil and gas wells reach the end of their economically viable lifespan, they undergo a process called plug and abandonment (P&A) to abandon safely and responsibly the well. With millions of wells requiring P&A worldwide, this process has become increasingly important due to environmental concerns. However, P&A regulations vary from state to state in the US and from country to country.
PPSC P&A is a cloud-based software that helps users manage the P&A process efficiently and effectively. With risk analysis capabilities, the software enables users to prioritize wells that require P&A. Additionally, it quickly determines the number of plugs required for a specific well, along with the recommended length and cement slurry density of each plug based on state regulations.
PPSC P&A also allows users to choose different P&A techniques, including the balanced plugging technique, dump bailer method, and two-plug method. Users can predict ECD and pump pressure while pumping cement and plug wells using state regulations or in-house recommendations that consider reservoir depletion or injection activities.
To facilitate the pumping process, the software incorporates animations to help users visualize the process in detail. This makes it easier to identify and address potential issues before they occur, reducing costs and minimizing environmental impact.
PPSC P&A is a powerful tool for managing the plug and abandonment process, enabling users to comply with regulations while promoting environmental sustainability.
