2 7 Completion activities 7.1 General This clausesection covers requirements pertaining toand guidelines for well integrity during activities and operations for installation of tubular and equipment in the well that will be used for transport of media to and from the reservoir and surface. The completion activity typically starts after having drilled the well to total depth and starting with cleaning of the wellformation logging program is completed and installation of completion equipment. The activity concludes with the suspension of the tubing hanger in the subsea wellhead or upon completion of the installation of the surface production tree. The purpose of this clausesection is to describe the establishment of well barriers by use of WBEswell barrier elements and additional features requiredrequirements and guidelines to execute thethis activity in a safe manner. 7.2 Well barrier schematics It is recommended that WBSs are developed as a practical method to demonstrate and illustrate the presence of the defined primary and secondary barriers in the well, see 4.2. In the table below there are a number of typical scenarios listed, some of which are also attached as illustrations. The table is not comprehensive and schematics for the actual situations during an activity or operation should be made. Item Description Comments See 1. Running and pulling of TCP guns. None 2.1 Running open end completion string. None Running closed end completion string. None 4.1 Working in well with deep set tubing plug. None 5.1 Running or pulling non shearable items through None BOP. 6.1 Pulling BOP and landing subsea production tree. None Removal of BOP and installing surface production None tree. Well barrier schematics (WBS) shall be prepared for each well activity and operation. Samples of well barrier schematics for selected situations are presented at the end of this section (5.8). 7.3 Well barrier acceptance criteria The following requirements applylist defines specific use of well barrier / well barrier elements: a) WellsAll WBEs, control lines and clamping arrangements shall be resistant to environmental loads (chemical exposure, temperature, pressure, mechanical wear, erosion, etc.). b) All injection/production wells shall be equipped with a production tree. a)c) Injection and wells that are producing or are capable of producing hydrocarbons, shall have a mechanical annular seal between the completion string and the casing/liner, i.e. production packer. e.g. production packer. All injection wells shall have the annular seal installed at a depth ensuring that the injection or any casing leak below the seal will not lead to fracturing of the cap rock or leak to shallower formations when applying METP. b)d) A SCSSVDHSV shall be installed in the completion string for all hydrocarbon wells and wells with sufficient reservoir pressure to lift fluids to seabed level (including supercharged injection formations). e) It shall be possible to install a tubing hanger plug (or a shallow set tubing plug) and a deep set tubing plug.
3 f) An ASCSSVA-annulus shall have continuous (transmitter) pressure monitoring at the wellhead with alarms during operation. c) For wells that are recompleted the condition of the remaining inner casing and the cement quality should be installedlogged. Any reduction in the completion stringwall thickness or cement quality shall be accounted for all wells 1) with a potential of hydrocarbon flow in the annulus, i.e. perforations above the production packer and injection into the annulus which might temporarily supercharge a formation; 2) where the A-annulus is used for gas lift unless there is any other downhole device that is load calculations and qualified as a well barrier in addition to what is found in the wellhead area; 3)g) when analysis and/or risk assessment shows that any hydrocarbon volume in the annulus might have unacceptable consequences if the wellhead/surface elements for maximum expected pressure and maximum anticipated differential pressures during life of well barrier is lost.

7 For probabilistic calculations of loads and ratings, the probability of failure should be less than 10 3,5. The weakest point in the completion string shall be clearly identified with regards to burst, collapse and tensile strength rating. For through tubing plugs, packers and valves, the design pressure shall be minimum 1,.1 times the stated WP/maximum exposed load whichever is lower.

When establishing the maximum tubing and casing differential pressure at seabed level, one shall use the METP less the annulus pressure at this level regarded as zero (notwithout taking credit for liquid hydrostatic column from seabed to surface on the annulus side which can happen if the annulus is bled down following presence of gas) Gas lifted wells Gas lift is a method to increase oil production whereas the backpressure in the production tubing is reduced by injecting gas into the A-annulus and through the tubing at some point downhole. The use of gas lift gives large inventories of pressurised hydrocarbon gas in both surface lines and in the A-annuli. Release of these inventories is a substantial topsides hazard to platform. All platform wells shall have an ASV installed in the A-annulus that limits the amount of hydrocarbon gas release in the event of damage to the production tree, wellhead or surface lines. Based on risk assessment, alternative solutions may be utilized if the same safety level or higher can be achieved. An alternative solution can be a combination of a qualified downhole valve (qualified as a WBE) and a fail-safe-closed device in the wellhead or close to the surface tubing hanger. The alternative solution shall reduce the potential release of hydrocarbon gas compared to an ASV solution. A gas lift injection valve (a WBE) can be used as an alternative to an ASV in subsea wells. The following additional requirements apply: a) An analysis shall be performed to assess the risk of release of hydrocarbon gas to the surroundings (air, water column) if the wellhead/production casing barrier elements are lost. The total risk for the installation shall be included in the analysis. b) Intermediate casing and formation/cement shall act as secondary well barrier elements against gas lift pressure unless analysis and/or risk assessment shows that any release of hydrocarbon volume from the annulus do not have unacceptable consequence if the wellhead/production casing is lost.
8 c) Gas should only be introduced to the casing to tubing annulus that has gas tight premium connections that are properly made-up and tested in order to affect as a gas tight seal. d) B-annulus shall have continuous pressure monitoring with alarms. For subsea wells the B-annulus shall be designed to withstand thermal induced pressure effect (APB) High pressure and high temperature wells Specification and qualification criteria for equipment and fluids to be used or installed in a HPHT well shall be established, with particular emphasis on: a) dimensional stability of the well as a function of temperature and pressure, b) sealing capability of metal to metal seals as a function of well bore fluids, pressure and temperature, c) stability of explosive and chemical perforating charges as function of temperature/pressure exposure time, d) clearance and tolerances as function of temperature and differential pressure exposure, e) deterioration of elastomer seals and components as function of temperature/pressure exposure time and wellbore fluids. f) packer fluid selection and design including hydrate prevention Disposal wells Disposal wells are designed and used to inject liquids, slurries brines or gases into dedicated formation for disposal. The injected media shall be contained within the dedicated formation without deteriorating or penetrating the formation barrier/cap rock. Wells injecting at a pressure greater than the formation fracture pressure (minimum horizontal stress) at the injection depth, the following apply: a) the production packer shall be set below the cap rock, b) the cement shall be logged and have confirmed bonding from the top perforation and up to 200mMD above top of reservoir, c) it shall be documented that the injection will not result in a reservoir pressure exceeding the strength of the cap rock Multipurpose wells A multipurpose well is defined as a well that has transport of media to or from a formation interval via the A- annulus in addition to transport through the tubing. The following requirements and guidelines apply: a) A-annulus shall 1) have continuous pressure monitoring; 2)a) be equipped with an ASCSSV, see 7.3 c. ASV b) B-annulus shall have continuous pressure monitoring with alarms. For SSWssubsea wells the B- annulus (production and intermediate casing) shall be designed to withstand the thermal pressure build-up if.
