Repairing microannulus in thermal wells

How do you repair microannulus in a thermal well?

One operator has patented a process to repair microannulus to remediate a surface casing vent flow. He received approval from the AER to use his process on one of his SAGD injection wells.

In the same application he also showed his 4D seismic to indicate the steam chamber thickness in the area. You can check it out by ordering his application from our self serve application document portal. AppIntel delivers applications in moments, not days or weeks.

The key to staying abreast of thermal technology

Thermal technology changes quickly. Thermal operators are always trying something new. Many of their attempts reduce steam requirement and improve recovery.

The only way to stay abreast of these technological changes is to read their applications. Technical papers don't expose new technology quickly enough. Technical forums don't reveal enough detail.

In the heyday of $90 oil, some companies had whole teams of people data-mining applications. But today, when oil price is cut in half, more and more companies find it's cheaper and faster to have AppIntel.

Cheapest, fastest, best

AppIntel costs less than a quarter of one person's salary. For the same price of a team of six man data-mining department, you could supply all your thermal engineers with AppIntel.

AppIntel's search functions are quicker than made-in-house searches. And AppIntel's collection of historic applications is vary larger than any in-house collection we've seen.

AppIntel has area alerts that allow you to see new applications as soon as they are submitted.

AppIntel doesn't take sick days or vacations and it works on weekends. It doesn't miss applications or documents -- it's contents are triple checked for accuracy. And it adds search by UWI for applications that don't even have a UWI.
