SLB has unveiled a new well integrity methodology that aims to simplify carbon storage site selection and evaluation, helping carbon storage developers to quantity risks at prospective storage sites.
The methodology “incorporates advanced failure mode effect and criticality analysis to assess potential leakage pathways, well barrier, failure mechanisms and resulting consequences,” the global technology company said on Aug. 27.
The process involves use of advanced multi-physics 3D modeling to assess the volume and flow rates of brine and carbon leakage, SLB said in a news release.
“The significance of the risks associated with each well and the costs of remediation to mitigate leakage risks can make a project economically unfeasible,” said Frederik Majkut, senior vice president of industrial decarbonization for SLB. “By addressing potential well integrity issues early in the development process, SLB’s well integrity assessment solution can help storage developers avoid costly delays or operational disruptions, and drive companies toward their net zero ambitions.”
