Introduction: Casing
Kegunaan masing-masing jenis
casing
Conductor casing:
• Memberikan arah pemboran pertama kali
• Tempat dudukan bagi seksi casing
berikutnya
Surface casing:
• Tempat duduknya BOP
• Menjaga kestabilan lubang sumur
• Melindungi air tanah dari pencemaran oleh
fluida pemboran
Intermediate casing:

Production casing:
• Memisahkan zona produksi satu dengan
zona produksi lainnya
• Menjaga kondisi lubang sumur yang dapat
ditolerir subsurface completion equipment
Liners:
• *sama dengan production casing 22

• Fibrous & Flaky --> to catch solid from mud which conducts sealing mechanism. The best
option.
• Granular --> seal the tip of fracture to prevent build further
• LCM cannot handle big fracture --> cement plug
• LCM exp: mica flakes, fine rubber curbs, aqueous dispersion rubber

• 13 incidents of stuck pipe (2 lost in hole)
• 5 pack-off; 2 differential sticking; 2 wellbore

• Most of incidents indicated by high torque.
Analyzed the Rotary bit, low WOB & RPM, Low
Dogleg severity give a result: Low torque

Kasus lapangan 1 :
• Penanggulangan
- Mengontrol temperature brine sampai ke
sumur reinjeksi
- Modifikasi pH.
- Secara bertahap dilakukan pencucian dengan
NaOH.
- Injeksi inhibitor skaling
Korosi
• Temperatur
• pH
• Konsentrasi Oksigen
• Kecepatan Alir Fluida
• Kandungan Solid
Penyebab Korosi
• Pada kedalaman dangkal, terjadi
karena Oksidasi. Dipercepat oleh
adanya kandungan Klorida, Sulfida,
dan NaCl yang tinggi
• Pada kedalam dalam dipengaruhi
oleh CO2 dan Asam Sulfat
Pencegahan
• Menggunakan Tie-Back Casing
• Plug and Abandonment jika
beresiko terjadi blow out
Penanganan
• Korosi dari dalam casing
• Disebabkan Asam sulfat pada
area vulkanik muda (pH < 3 )
• Korosi karena aliran fluida
