 Decommisioning wells
« Thread Started on Sept 19, 2004, 1:50pm »

When decommisioning wells with a bentonite powder / cement mix is there a rule of thumb to the mixture levels.
The wells in question are 100m deep & 10inch diameter.
going off research in the US I have been advised to use a 5% bentonite to cement mix, whereas in the UK they use up to a 50% cement to bentonite mix.
I know from past usage that a wallpaper paste type mix is ideal, but what mix is this ?
Regards,
Jim.

Dear Jim,

You may wish to look at the October & November 2004 issues of National Driller respectively:

- Grouting & Sealing Materials versus Cost - pp.56 & 67
(+ letter to editor pp. 4)

- Monitoring Well Abandonment - pp.28 & 30.

I receive the newspaper by mail and am not sure if copies are available at www.drilleronline.com

I note Type II cement (similar to API Class B - lower heat of hydration than Type I & sulphate resistant) with 2 - 5% bentonite & mix water in accordance with ASTM C150-92 is discussed for wells greater than 200 feet.

Hopefully the articles will assist you further although there is nothing about UK regulations.

Best regards,
RAD.
