Axis of Success: A Unique Professional Plug & Abandonment Project, In Populated Town Area

Abstract

In 2011, ADCO embarked on a project of well abandonment in Town field, Located in an urban area approximately 25 km South-East of the main island of Abu Dhabi. Each of the three wells presented individual technical challenges and, due to proximity of the populated areas, complexities with logistics and emergency response planning arose. As well as significant presence of toxic H2S in the Town field reservoirs this categorizes those wells as critical high profile wells. And this necessitated extensive engagement with ADCO coordinating with external authorities of concerned parties' throughout the project.
