Currey ‘workings Joint Director (ERP) nO1SD, Arvind Kumar ainloksafter the safety of ERP [Brief Description: Lower teste intervals of a well were solatedby placing barre Le. Bridge plugat a depth of 1227 maters MO, “Three upper perforated cones (2047 ~ 46, 2012 ~ 07, 1005 ~ 01 meters) were in open condition. The zone (1027-46 meters) was having the potential for gas with BHP 1650 psi, gas flow rate 980 cubic meter per hour with 4 mmbeansitean SiTHP 109-111 Kg/Sq.arecm. A retrievable mechanical packer was set at 971 meters to liolate the upper open intervals for testing. The ‘mechanical packer could not be released aftertestingof the intervals. The work over was being carried with an ‘objective to retrieve / fish out the stuck mechanical packer fromthe well {An attempt was made to fish out the stuck mechanical packer with overshot, Only mandrel ofthe packer could be fished withthe attempt by overshot (External catch fishingtoo!). Packer portion wasleftinthe wel, Second attempt was made with long Taper tap (internal ‘atch fishing tool) to engage and fish out the stuck packer but fale. Te wellwas subdued with 1.30 gram /ccbrine ana Kick was observed twotimes during thefishing operation. As the attempt to release the stuck packer was unsuccessful, the taper tap was disengaged, well circulated with 1.30 specific gravity brine and started pulling outthe shin string. ‘The complete fishing string was pulled out except two, singles of" round dil collars along withthe tapertap, in the well. Flow of gas and brine started from the well ‘The crew made up a 2-7/8" drill pipe tothe dil collar singles which were stil nthe well against the BOPs and run nin the well. Installed FOSV & circulating head and closed the2-7/8” ram BOP. After observing the wellactvty for sometime, BOP was ‘opened. The well became active and well fluid pushed ‘one single of dil collar out ofthe hole, Both the 2-7/8 pipe ram and blind ram were closed against the drill collar which was stil inthe hole against the BOPs. The 25 flow from the well became uncontrolled as the secondary wellcontrosystem failed. Analysis: 1. The gos well was subdued with 1.30 specific gravity brine, which could not stabilize the well as itis very difficult to maintain the specific gravity of brine. Furthermore, gas migrates and expands with faster rate inthe brine due to its low viseosty, low yield 0 —_———————point and practically nil gelation. The fest migration ‘coupled with exponential expansion of gas unloads the wellatafasterrate, thus reducing the hydrostatic head drastically. The gas wells should be subdued \with mud fr prolonged work over operations. 2. When start ofthe gas & brine flow was observed from the well, the shift crew made up a 2-7/8" dell pipe to the drill collar singles which were stil in the ‘wel rani it inthe well installed FOSV & circulating hhead and closed the 2-7/8" ram BOP. This was 2 ‘wrong operation and wasted considerable time. During the makeup of dil pipe single, running inthe ‘well and instalation of FOSV and circulating head, the well was unloaded and gas flow became sleniicantly high, instead of adding singe of dr pine, Rl, instaling FOSV & circulating head, the string of two drillcallars should have been pulled out ofthe hole and blindram close. 3, ‘Shut in wel was not observed as perth lid down procedures. Shut in Oril pipe pressure (SIOPP) and casing pressure (SCP) were not recorded to monitor the well. This was 2 serious violation of standard procedures. 4, The BOP was opened without checking the well concltion through the annulus valves. 5, Both the BOPs i.e. 2-7/8" pipe ram and Blin ram were closed against the 4X" drill collar, thus damaging both the pipe as wellaslindram. 6. There was no trip tank provided with the rig :0 monitor the well behavior during. pulling out ‘operations. The well was not properly monitored during ts behavior during pulling ot operation. ‘Well capping: 1. Initial attempt was made to kill the well by ‘Dynamic king method’. Four cementing units were mobilized and connected othe annulus with the high pressure 2” chickson lines. Mud of 1.30 specific gravity (five times of well volume) was prepared. This attempt was unsuccessfulbecause mud could notbe supplied to cementing units with the requited flow rato to suction of cementingunits 2. 2-7/8" ram packer block was converted to 4X" ram packer block by machining the cavity of front packer of 2-7/8 pipe ram bloc in a local workshop. 1.90, ‘mud of volume equivalent to 5 times of well volume was prepared, After mud preparation of suficient ‘quantity, the stuck dell collars were secured firmly with wire ropes, working under the water umbrella Bonnet ofthe upper Blind ram BOP was opened and the bind ram packer was replaced with the fabricated 4%" pipe ram packer, Bonnets ofthe BOP closed and bonnet bolts tightened. The 4%" pipe rams were closed and observed that it worked.
