Abstract

In lucrarea de față autorii prezinta o metoda practica aplicată în șantier de firma Dosco Petroservices, prin care unele sonde vechi ieșite din producție, pot fi captate așa încat să fie abandonate definitiv,corect, prin executarea operațiunilor de abandonare impuse de legislația în vigoare, cu o instalatie dedicata.Mai mult decât atât,prin metoda aplicată, afluxul eventual de fluide remanente din sondă ( țiței și apă sarata) este captat și poate fi colectat și transportat la o destinatie specifică, conformă cu managementul reziduurilor fluide.. În acest fel, se evită poluarea mediului în jurul sondei subiect

In this paper, the authors are presenting a hand on method applied in the field (well site) in such a way that an old hydrocarbon well out of production can be capped at surface, allowing a correct hook up of a dedicated workover rig to be installed and connected with the subject well and carry on further a legal plug and abandon well program, imposed by the national laws and regulations. More than this, the method is allowing that the remanent fluids coming out of the well to be safely contained, loaded and transported at a suitable disposal location. In this way the well can be plugged and abandoned properly, and the pollution of the area can be reduced with success.
