SPE/CSGM Gas Migration Challenges— Identification and Treatment Workshop

Gas Migration [Surface Casing Vent Flows (SCVF), Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP), and Sustained Annular Pressure (SAP)] challenges have been present in the oil and gas industry since its inception. These challenges include drilling, casing and cementing designs, completion techniques, operating area, and age of wellbore.

Greater success, reduced costs, and improved efficiency come from a strong understanding of wellbore integrity and having access to new tools and remediation techniques, along with clear knowledge of the rules and regulations.

The Society of Petroleum Engineers and the Canadian Society for Gas Migration are focused on bringing together industry-leading professionals to increase intervention effectiveness by promoting active discussion and the sharing of new ideas.
