CemFIT Heal is a transition technology that minimizes well construction CO2 footprint as it had less CO2e embedded during the manufacturing process compared to traditional cement systems. In this SPE Tech Talk, Schlumberger's Saurabh Kapoor and Bipin Jain will discuss how technology is thus helping with the reduction of Scope 3 emissions.
Constructing wells with long-term zonal isolation would lower the probability of any unintended intervention needed during the production till abandonment thus lowering the associated carbon footprint. The pair will talk about how CemFIT Heal flexible self-healing cement system supports the reduction of Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by ensuring well integrity from drilling to abandonment, providing a competent annular pressure seal and protecting against hydrocarbon leaks and sustained casing pressure (SCP) at the wellhead. With conventional cement, a cement sheath failure such as a crack or microannulus results in a hydrocarbon leak or SCP at the wellhead.
The CemFIT Heal system is the only cement system in the industry that not only withstands wellbore stresses due to flexibility in the system but, should any isolation defects appear, repairs itself on contact with oil or gas irrespective of methane content.
