When designing Arctic well completions, operators must gather and evaluate data on the basic lithological, mechanical, and thermal properties of the surrounding permafrost in order to anticipate problems caused by thaw subsidence, freezeback, and hydrate decomposition. Although logging appears to be the most practical data-retrieval system, the unavailability of special logging tools for permafrost applications may sometimes make coring and field testing necessary for complete evaluation. Part 4 of this well-completion series concentrates on the most important permafrost properties for consideration in direct-measurement programs and provides guidelines for selecting a data-retrieval system for a given location.
