Abstract
In accordance with a method of this invention, formation integrity problems are discovered, diagnosed and corrected in successively drilled subterranean well bore intervals. If one or more of well bore fluid outflows, formation fluid inflows or inadequate well bore pressure containment integrity are discovered in a drilled well bore interval, well logs are run and other relevant well bore data is collected in the drilled well bore interval and analyzed to provide a specific treatment using a specific pumpable sealing composition for sealing and increasing the pressure containment integrity of the well bore. Thereafter, the sealing composition is pumped into the drilled well bore interval whereby the well bore interval is sealed or the pressure containment integrity is increased, or both.
