“…The process of dehydration would be employed to perform the replacement, which involves the injection of cement slurry into the leak paths [17]. Moreover, work-over jobs have been previously reported to be costly, with exorbitant rates that can reach USD 100,000 per well by virtue of the low success rate of earlier attempts prior to successfully attaining an adequate seal that is serviceable [24].…”

“…Injecting of cement is performed in the cracked formation for sealing the leak; it uses the dehydration process, which requires injecting of cement slurry into the problem area [11]. However, the success rate in the earlier attempts was relatively low and involved several squeeze job before a successful seal obtained; the cost of workover job went up as high as USD100,000 per well [4]. It has become a known fact that the volumetric shrinkage of the cement during hydration contributes substantially to the existing problems of the well cementing system.…”
