Project Number 602
Date of Summary

July 25, 2008
Subject

Cement Fatigue and HPHT Well Integrity with Application to Life of Well Prediction
Performing Activity

Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES)
Principal Investigator

Catalin Teodoriu and Jerome Schubert
Contracting Agency

Minerals Management Service
Estimated Completion

September 30, 2008
Description

The objective of this project is to develop a better understanding of the performance of the casing-cement bond under HPHT well conditions leading to a model to predict well life.

Project Goals:

1.   Description of the importance of cement fatigue to the life of HPHT wells

2.   Lab procedures and prototype test cell to measure the performance of cement in cyclic loading under HPHT conditions

3.   Model to predict life of HPHT wells

4.   Recommendation for further work
