Well Integrity Cflex Cementing Sleeve
Unique ISO 14310/14998 V0 certified seal
Allow operator to plan the cement job without risk of compromising
Well Integrity
High burst, collapse, torque and tensile ratings
Full bore ID and slim OD
Multiple opening and closing part of qualification
Unlimited number can be installed in liner or casing string and
operated selectively
Can operate with high differential pressure without damaging seal
Suits all type of premium casing threads

The Cflex MKII-F with Cement Base

The MKII-F is a Cflex SS with a built-in fundament.
The seal provided by the fundament prevents the cement to flow
downwards in a well. It prevents contamination of the cement. The
fundament can hold differential pressures, and is an integrated part of
the valve
The fundament is mechanically activated when the sleeve of the valve is
opened; the whole cementing process is done in one run

Case study: Cflex
Cflex provides reliable
annulus integrity when primary
cementing falls short in the
Gulf of Mexico
Challenge
A major international operator anticipated significant
operational difficulties in cementing the annulus of a
horizontal well that intersected a low fracture gradient
formation. In order to comply with regulatory requirements,
500ft of cement was required above the uppermost
production zone at 10,091ft measured depth (MD),
crossing the liner lap of the 9 5/8in and 13 5/8in casing
at 9,825ft MD. Modeling and offset data indicated that
traditional primary cementing methods would be unable
to ensure well integrity, leading the operator to explore a
contingency solution.
Solution
The operator selected Archers Cflex multistage cementing
technology as a contingency in the event that primary
cementing failed to provide sufficient cement coverage.
The Cflex was run integral with the 9 5/8in casing string to
9,391ft MD, 700ft above the upper-most production zone.
As anticipated, the primary cement job provided insufficient
zonal coverage. Cflex was then operated to displace 100bbl
of cement down to the upper-most production zone,
isolating the 13 5/8in casing shoe at 9,825ft MD.

Case study: Major Natural Gas Project
Archer was awarded the Well Suspension Plugs
contract for a 10 well, 3 year campaign in August
2011, for a major international operator, operating
in one of the largest natural gas projects in the
world and single largest resource development
in Australias history.
Challenge
The gas field was situated in environmentally challenging
area, which includes the Barrow Island, a Class A Nature
Reserve since the year 1910. Drilling was conducted in
approximately 1350m of water using a 5th Generation
ultra-deepwater drill ship. The well program consisted of
batch drilling, followed by batch completions. In view of
the above conditions, well integrity during the period of
temporary suspension was a very critical element. The
well suspension program required setting of a proven gas
tight plug in the 13-5/8 casing section and another to be
set in a deep (3500m 4000m), highly deviated (up to 70
degrees) 9-5/8 casing section.
Solution
The LOCK Series of well suspension plugs provided the
assurance of an absolute seal, is independently certified
as gas tight, and qualified as V0 under ISO 14310. With
over 1,300 deployments, mostly in the harsh North Sea
environment, the LOCK series plugs also come with an
unrivalled 100% retrievability track record. The 13-5/8
TIMELOCK was utilized as the upper barrier and is the only
suspension plug in this size to come with V0 ISO 14310
qualification. The 9-5/8 TIMELOCK was deployed as the
operators lower barrier of choice as its installation is not
hampered by high well deviation and allows
for rapid deployment.

High Rotation speed is important to create turbulent flow and transport debris in to the flow regime in the vertical
section of a well.
Fluid Velocity is important to transport debris out of the well. Maintaining a constant fluid velocity in the different
sections is important to avoid debris settlings when there is a change in liner or casing size.
Fluid Rheology is equally important to create a viscous coupling with the drillpipe and suspend debris in the flow
regime.

Challenge Case benefits

Statoil was seeking an efficient and reliable method to plug
and abandon its well (P&A), whilst minimizing the use of rig
time, and ensuring and effective, long-lasting seal.
Traditional P&A methods are often time consuming
and costlythe need for milling and debris handling;
perforating, and then preparation of the seal zone to
receive cement; the deployment of a rock-to-rock cement Key capabilities
seal; and the subsequent verification of the seal using
logging techniques, can all add complexity and risk. Also,
squeezing cement into perforations without washing and
purging the perforated zone can reduce the chance of
success.
The Perforate & Wash tool (PWT) eliminated
the need to mill casing and provide more
security when drilling out cement.

Solution
To resolve the issue we RIH to below 2160 m and pressure
up to 31 Bar and slowly POOH to we saw a pressure drop to
27 Bar. This confirmed that we had placed the perforated
interval between our swab cups in the PWT. Next step
was to pressure test the formation behind 13 3/8 casing
and also test communication between the perforated
interval.40 Bar was applied after 70 litre pumped. A leak
into the formation was observed with no return to surface.
60 litres was bleed back confirming that the formation had
taken 10 litres.

Results
The conclusion was that there was communication
between perforations and formation behind 13 3/8 casing
but not between perforated intervals. After each interval
had been tested with same result a dart was dropped to
disconnect the tool and place a cement plug on top of tool
and past the perforated interval.
