Deep Casing Tools develops plugging and abandonment technology for decommissioning

摘要

DEEP CASING TOOLS (DCT) in collaboration with the Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) and Total has developed a plugging and abandonment tool that can reduce the cost of decommissioning. Plugging and abandonment (P and A) is the complex process by which a well is closed permanently and typically accounts for about 45 per cent of projected decommissioning costs.
