INTRODUCTION
Well intervention are remedial operations that are
performed on wells with the intention of restoring or
increasing production. A well may require intervention due to
flow restriction, changes in reservoir characteristics or to
access additional hydrocarbon pay zones.
However, the choice of technique and equipment to
perform the downhole applications determines the economical
success of a well intervention job. A conventional workover rig
can be used to perform well intervention but the associated
cost in mobilizing and running the support operations is
expensive.
The Remedial Cementing technique discussed here provides
an avenue to perform a successful rigless intervention (zone
switch), using only wireline and pumping services.
This will be emphasized on using okan 52(chevron offshore
field) as a case study.
OBJECTIVE
To highlight how WEAFRI apply the innovative through
tubing remedial cementing technique to carry out zone switch
in a rigless operation.
REMEDIAL CEMENTING AND RIGLESS WELL
INTERVENTION
Remedial cementing
It refers to cementing operations performed to repair primary
cementing problems or to treat conditions arising when
wellbore has been constructed. The two categories includes;
Squeeze cementing: it’s the placement of a cement slurry under
pressure against a permeable formation causing the slurry to
dehydrate and create a cementitious seal across the formation
face.
Cement plug: it’s the placement of relatively small volume of
slurry inside an open wellbore(to initiate sidetracking during
drilling) or inside a cased hole to abandon lower unproductive
zone, or to plug and abandon an entire well.
Rigless well intervention
Its a well intervention operation that precludes the requirement
of a rig over the wellbore, example of such operations are
wireline, coiled tubing and hydraulic workover.
THE TECHNIQUE
(A CASE STUDY OF OKAN 52 {CHEVRON FIELD})
Well history(okan 52)
Okan 52 was spudded on the 2nd of August 1974 and drilled as a vertical
well to a total depth of 8600ft MD.
The well was initially completed as a dual producer with the long string in
the M-03B/OK-52 reservoir and the short string in the K-03/OK-26
reservoir.
The Long string in the M-03B zone initially tested 146 BOPD but with a
water cut of 84%.

JOB EVALUATION
• Wireline made a drift run to confirm tubing was free and
carried out temperature log to identify the cement interval
through OK-52, the temperature log interpretation confirmed
appropriate cement slurry placement.
