  1. Evaluation of cement integrity using distributed temperature sensing Jan Henninges and Wulf Brandt ENGINE Workshop 4, Drilling cost effectiveness and feasibility of high- temperature drilling, Reykjavik, Iceland, July 2-5, 2007 Dr. J. Henninges, ENGINE Workshop 4, Reykjavik, Iceland, July 2-5, 2007.

  2. Overview Motivation: • Cementing: important operation, difficult to control • Primary objectives: support casing, seal annulus • Questions: how much cement in place? „Quality“? Methods: • Temperature – heat of hydration during setting of cement • Acoustic – attenuation, mechanical coupling • Nuclear – admixture to cement slurry Case study: • Permanent monitoring of CO 2 injection and storage (CO2SINK) • Behind casing sensors: monitoring during operation • Fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (DTS) during cementing Dr. J. Henninges, ENGINE Workshop 4, Reykjavik, Iceland, July 2-5, 2007.

  3. Well design VERA DTS • 18- 5/8“ surface casing (cemented) 18-5/8” • 9- 5/8“ intermediate casing (cemented) • 5- 1/2“ casing: – 8- 1/2“ hole – two 9m filter screen sections – permanent sensor cables behind casing 9-5/8” – DTS: fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing cable – VERA: vertical electrical resistivity array • stinger cementation Filter #1 – below filter screens 5-1/2” Filter #2 – 2,2 m³ of API Class G cement Dr. J. Henninges, ENGINE Workshop 4, Reykjavik, Iceland, July 2-5, 2007.

  16. Summary and Outlook • Successful installation of permanent sensor cables behind casing • Continuous temperature monitoring: Location of cement head Amount of cement in place On-line information during operation • Evaluation of sealing, zonal isolation: other methods (CBL, etc.) • Advanced thermal modeling: thickness of cement sheath?
