A new tool and methodology to work, in a single-trip system, and create conduits through the casing or tubing to access the annuli, circulate out the annuli contents, accurately deliver the cement required to create the subsequent barrier. The tool and system provide a cost effective way of plugging an oil and gas well in a single trip without the need to remove in-place production casing.

Method for slim hole single trip remedial or plug and abandonment cement barrier

A method includes obtaining, using multiple internal well-modeling applications, data from an engineer's data model (EDM) database. The method further includes deriving data relevant to an external application from at least a first portion of the obtained data. The method further includes formatting the derived data and at least a second portion of the obtained data, relevant to the external application, to be compatible with the external application. The method further includes sending the formatted data to the external application or a user of the external application. The method further includes receiving results of processing the formatted data by the external application or the user of the external application. The method further includes storing the results in the EDM database.

EDM data compatibility for external applications

Provided in one aspect is a new tool and methodology to work, in a single-trip system, and create conduits through the casing or tubing to access the annuli, circulate out the annuli contents, accurately deliver the cement required to create the subsequent barrier. The tool and system provided by this aspect provide a cost effective way of plugging an oil and gas well in a single trip without the need to remove in-place production casing.
