Well blowout rates and consequences in California Oil and Gas District 4 from 1991 to 2005: Implications for geological storage of carbon dioxide

Journal Article Jordan, Preston ; Jordan, Preston D ; Benson, Sally M - Environmental Geology

Well blowout rates in oil fields undergoing thermally enhanced recovery (via steam injection) in California Oil and Gas District 4 from 1991 to 2005 were on the order of 1 per 1,000 well construction operations, 1 per 10,000 active wells per year, and 1 per 100,000 shut-in/idle and plugged/abandoned wells per year. This allows some initial inferences about leakage of CO2 via wells, which is considered perhaps the greatest leakage risk for geological storage of CO2. During the study period, 9% of the oil produced in the United States was from District 4, and 59% of this production was viamore »« less

Well blowout rates in California Oil and Gas District 4--Update and Trends

Journal Article Jordan, Preston D ; Benson, Sally M - Exploration and Production--Oil and Gas Review

Well blowouts are one type of event in hydrocarbon exploration and production that generates health, safety, environmental and financial risk. Well blowouts are variously defined as 'uncontrolled flow of well fluids and/or formation fluids from the wellbore' or 'uncontrolled flow of reservoir fluids into the wellbore'. Theoretically this is irrespective of flux rate and so would include low fluxes, often termed 'leakage'. In practice, such low-flux events are not considered well blowouts. Rather, the term well blowout applies to higher fluxes that rise to attention more acutely, typically in the order of seconds to days after the event commences. Itmore »« less

Oil and gas well blowout prevention in California. Second edition

Book Hallmark, F O ; Wygle, P R

Section 3219, Division 3, of the Public Resources Code states that operators will equip wells with adequate casing and safety devices to prevent blowouts, explosions, or fires. This manual discusses the safety devices or blowout prevention equipment (BOPE) considered necessary by the State Oil and Gas Supervisor for oil and gas wells drilled in California. The manual classifies the BOPE, describes the function and operating characteristics, and outlines inspection and testing procedures. (DLC)
Modeling the Aliso Canyon underground gas storage well blowout and kill operations using the coupled well-reservoir simulator T2Well

Journal Article Pan, Lehua ; Oldenburg, Curtis M. ; Freifeld, Barry M. ; ... - Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering

A blowout of the Sesnon Standard-25 well (SS-25; API 03700776) at the Aliso Canyon Underground Gas Storage Facility, first observed on October 23, 2015, eventually resulted in emission of nearly 100,000 tonnes of natural gas (mostly methane) to the atmosphere. Several thousand people were displaced from their homes as the blowout spanned 111 days. Seven attempts to gain pressure control and stop the gas flow by injection of heavy kill fluids through the wellhead failed, a process referred to as a “top kill.” Introduction of drilling mud when a relief well milled through the casing of SS-25 at a depthmore »« less

sup 14 C ages of hydrothermal petroleum and carbonate in Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California: implications for oil generation, expulsion, and migration

Journal Article Peter, J M ; Peltonen, P ; Scott, S D ; ... - Geology; (USA)

{sup 14}C dates have been obtained by accelerator mass spectrometry and by conventional techniques from hydrothermally derived petroleum, calcite, and vent water from the southern trough of Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California. The ages for petroleum range from 4240 to 5705 B.P., whereas those for calcite range from 7340 to 33,168 B.P. The CO{sub 2} in a sample of hydrothermal vent fluid (24% end member) yielded an apparent age of 14,820 B.P., which is within the calcite age range. These are not true ages, but rather they reflect the age of carbon within these materials. The data indicate that themore »« less
