Necessity of Improvement of Complex Gas Well Repair Works Classification in Current Conditions of Wells Operation

Abstract

It is shown that the changed conditions of gas and gas-condensate fields operation entailed an increase in complexity of well repairs using coiltubing technologies. However, the methods developed for wells recovery in terms of emergency-refurbishment and water-influx restriction works are not provided for by the existing classification of complex well repairs which makes difficult to justify the length of repair works and, accordingly, their cost. The suggested amendments to the current structure of wells repair types promote further development of technologies of well workover in the conditions of oil and gas production decline .
