Annulus Pressure Investigation

Problem & challenge

Annulus pressure behaviour needed to be understood to confirm whether communication was present and to quantify active flow.

Objective

  • Evaluate annulus pressure integrity, determine fluid level and quantify any active flow or crossflow.

Solution

APIS annulus pressure integrity surveillance was combined with EchoPulse liquid-level measurement and Quantis direct flow metering.

Result

Annulus communication and flow behaviour were identified, giving a clear basis for the next integrity decision.
