BioSqueeze® - Biomineralization Technology for Sealing Methane Leaks
Biomineralization by BioSqueeze® employs a safe, eco-friendly method utilizing naturally occurring soil bacteria combined with commonly available chemicals used in food and agriculture to form mineralizing fluids. This solution is introduced deep into well leakages, thanks to its water-like viscosity of 1.05 cP, enabling it to penetrate micro-annuli unreachable by other products. The fluid eventually transforms into crystalline calcium carbonate, a resilient limestone-like material that bonds with rock, cement, and steel to seal leaks permanently. The process leads to an effective, permanent solution that surpasses the strength of existing formations. BioSqueeze® aids in stopping methane leaks with a carbon-neutral footprint, ensuring environmental safety even in sensitive areas like aquifers. This technology provides a significant advantage for sustainable practices in the oil and gas industry.
BioSqueeze - BioSqueeze Process for Eliminating Sustained Annular Pressure
The BioSqueeze Process is engineered to permanently eliminate sustained annular pressure in wells by addressing leakage pathways. The sequence begins with operators identifying these pathways using bond logging. A bridge plug is placed, and the casing is perforated to target specific zones susceptible to leakage. The initial step involves injecting a low-viscosity biomineralization solution, designed for minimal environmental impact, downhole through tubing. By applying pressure, this solution is directed into leakage paths for up to six hours. The crew carefully monitors the injection rate and adjusts pressure to ensure the complete elimination of gas migration. The process includes an overnight phase where pressure is maintained to enhance barrier formation. This process is applicable to various well stages, such as Plug & Abandon, Drilled But Uncompleted, and Producing Wells, ensuring a broad application range for sustained annular pressure solutions.
