Growing interest in exploring deep and ultra-deep wells, known for their high potential, accelerating deep-water drilling activities, challenges in existing oil well production further accelerated the adoption of zonal isolation methods.
 

For instance, in December 2023, a Canadian operator identified severe corrosion in an adjacent well due to CO2 injection. The corrosion had deteriorated a 20-meter section of 5-1/2" casing. To effectively plug & abandon the primary wellbore, the operator engaged BiSN to install bismuth plugs in open hole at the upper and lower boundaries of CO2-charged lithology. This strategy aimed to create a gas-tight seal above and below the charged strata layer, effectively isolating the well from the source of corrosion.
