The well Puri-01 (Loc. OPUE) is the first well drilled in OALP II, MN-ONHP-2018/2
to explore the hydrocarbon prospects within the Early Cretaceous Syn-rift
Intertrappean Sequence and part of Paleocene Sequence . The well was drilled as a
vertical down to a depth of 1080.0 m.
However, after drilling down to a depth of 890.0 m, very hard, compact,
Quartzofelspathic Basement rock was encountered which continued down till 1080.0
m.
Based on overall evidence provided by analysis of the drilled cuttings, side wall
cores, open-hole wireline log interpretation, well correlation, conventional cores (lab
tests yet to be carried out) and drilling data, two prospective zones were identified for
testing, viz., 860-m Sand in the range 860.0-865.0 & 844-m Sand in the range 843.0-
850.0 m.
On 05.05.2023, Schlumberger perforated the 860-m Sand in the range 860.0-865.0 m
using 2.1/8” Power Spiral Gun. No immediate pressure built up was observed after
perforation. The well was opened but no inflow was observed. Even after unloading a
cumulative of 196 bbls of well fluid (hole volume), no inflow was observed. In view
of no inflow from the zone, it was decided to test the higher up 843-m Sand under
live conditions.
It is to be noted that, three bottoms up samples were collected prior to perforation of
the higher up sand, viz., first at 930.0 m during initial circulation for changeover of
well fluid, second at 930.0 m after the complete changeover of well fluid and third at
860.0 m (perforation top). The salinity of the samples was measured to be 150 ppm
which is the salinity of the well fluid.
On 09.05.2023, Schlumberger perforated the 844-m Sand in the range 843.0 – 850.0
in two runs, viz., 844.0 – 850.0 m and 843.0 – 844.0 m. After perforation, no
immediate pressure build up was observed. It is to be noted that the well was kept
shut- in for around two and half hours during the interval between the two

perforations. A cumulative of 198 bbls (till 10.05.02023 morning) was unloaded but
no inflow was observed.
View above, the well is of very poor prospectivity. Hence, it is proposed to
permanently abandon the well as per OIL’s permanent abandonment policy.

B. Action plan for permanent abandonment of well Puri-01 (Loc. OPUE)


1. Subdue the well with water.
2. Observe well for 2 hours and if no activity is observed then,
3. Circulate for 01 cycle with water.
4. Rig down 5000 psi rated X-mass tree.
5. Retrieve and lay down tubing hanger with one tubing single.
6. Rig up 7.1/16” X 10K Production BOP with DSA.
7. Run in 2.7/8” OE tubing full bore shoe down to 930.0 m (Run in carefully while
crossing perforation zone. Note: Perforated range 843.0-850.0 & 860.0-865.0 m)
8. Circulate with two cycles with water.
9. POOH 2.7/8” OE tubing up to surface.
10. Rig down 7.1/16” X 10K Production BOP with DSA and 11”- 7.1/16” WF Spool.
11. Rig up 13.5/8” X 10K -11” X 5M Annular BOP.
12. Run in OEDP with stringer down to bottom (930.0 m).
13. Circulate for one cycle with water.
14. Carry out injectivity test with water up to maximum surface pressure of 1000psi by
using cementing unit.
15. Prepare and place 9.6 ppg of high viscous pill from 930.0 to 870.0 m.
16. Pull back OEDP up to 870m.
17. Circulate for one cycle with water.
18. Prepare & place 100.0 m cement plug of 15.8 ppg cement slurry from 870.0 to 770.0
m.
19. Pull back OEDP to 500m. Reverse circulate for two tubing volume with water. Carry
out squeezing job up to maximum surface pressure of 1000psi by using cementing
unit.
20. WOC for 48 hours.
21. After WOC, Pull out OEDP to surface. Run 8.1/2” bit and tag cement top by putting
8 Ton string weight. Carry out positive pressure test of cement plug up to 1000 psi in
stages.
22. If positive test is okay, POOH bit.
23. Make a 9.5/8” casing scrapper trip up to top of Cement plug.
24. SLB to set bridge plug 2 m above cement top and test the bridge plug up to 1000 psi.
25. Run in OEDP to top of bridge plug and change over well fluid by 9.0 ppg sodium
formate brine solution
26. Pull back OEDP up to 400m. Place high viscous pill of 9.6 ppg from 400.0 to 300.0
m.
27. Pull back OEDP to 300m. Circulate for 02 with 9.6ppg brine solution.

28. Place 100.0 m second cement plug of 15.2 ppg cement slurry from 300.0 to 200.0 m.
29. Pull back OEDP up to 120m. Reverse circulate two tubing volume of 9.6ppg brine
solution.
30. WOC for 36 hours.
31. After WOC, POOH OEDP. Run in 8.1/2” bit and tag cement top by putting 8 Tons

General Remarks:

1. All necessary safety precautions to be taken during operation.


2. All the cement plugs need to be tagged and tested after WOC.
3. Tubing pressure and all the annuli are to be bled off to zero at least 48 hours prior to
the commencement of operation and record for any pressure build up or return.
4. Operational steps are subjected to be reviewed based on real time situation.
5. Any changes in the above policy will be intimated nearer the time.
