Abstract

Sustained casing pressure (SCP) is a challenge in the well integrity management in oil and gas fields around the world. The flow state of leaked gas will change when migrated up annulus protective fluid. To show the influence of gas migration on casing pressure recovery, a prediction model of SCP based on Reynolds number of bubbles was established. The casing pressure prediction of typical wells and the sensitivity analysis of casing pressure are performed. The results show that the casing pressure recovery time decreases with the increase of cement permeability. However, larger cement permeability has little effect on the casing pressure after stabilization. Increasing the height of annulus protective fluid reduces the stable casing pressure value and shortens the casing pressure recovery time. Compared with the existing models, the results show that the time of casing pressure recovery will be shortened by the change of gas migration, and the effect of bubbles Re < 1 on SCP will be greater. The new model can be used to detect and treat the SCP problem caused by small Reynolds number gas leakage.
