Well Interventions Are Types of Operation That Are Carried Out On a Gas or Oil Well during the Production Tiles And Can Alter the Well State of Geometry

 

Well interventions are used all over the world, especially in regions such as the US, Italy, and the UK. A well intervention, well drill, well survey, well drilling, well profiling, well logging, well servicing, or well surveying, are some of the most common and fundamental well intervention strategies, performed on oil wells. Well interventions are conducted to control, prevent, evaluate, rehabilitate or remedy a well structure or mechanism, performed on an oil well. An intervention is any planned action taken to manipulate or control the operation of a well, planned since inception, designed to make well performance more efficient and reliable, economical.

A well intervention may be done on a well over any period of time or even over a wide range of wells, ranging from minor repair and maintenance activities, such as well drilling and well service scheduling, to major well interventions, like well monitoring, well drilling, well surveying, well logging, well drilling, well servicing, and well diagnosing. Well, interventions may also involve the introduction of new or innovative technology to control or improve oil well performance, ongoing maintenance and repair of well structures and mechanisms, and/or the introduction of new and improved technologies for oil well applications.

Some well interventions may include the shutting down of offshore vessels. For example, if all vessels operating in all areas of a well have been destructed by well explosions or other ocean damage, then it may be necessary to close all offshore vessels to save the lives of those living on or near the seafloor who rely on the marine economy for their livelihoods. In a region such as the US, the presence of several offshore oil rigs has increased the requirements for oil intervention. For instance, according to the US Oil & Gas Association, there were 184 offshore oil rigs in the North Sea.

Another well intervention technique is top hole drilling, which involves the well drilling operators reaching up to the top of the earth and drilling into a reservoir to reach the source of the well, whether at sea or on land. From the reservoir comes a gush of wastewater that must be disposed of appropriately. Oil is pumped from the reservoir via these wells and transported to the desired site via vessels or trucks.
