injectivity

Preparations for the "injectivity" test – which was delayed on Monday because of a small leak of hydraulic fluid in a control panel – come as it emerged BP has sent a bill for $480m to one of its partners in the well.

BP oil spill: final tests due before 'static kill' 2010

The practical capacity and matched capacity, however, are expected to be much smaller than the theoretical potential when more factors are taken into account, such as injectivity - the rate and pressure the carbon dioxide can be pumped into the target without fracturing the formation - the effectiveness of carbon dioxide trapping mechanisms, cap-rock tightness, reservoir size, risk from faults, regulations, infrastructure constraints and economics.

The first maneuver in the static kill, the injectivity test, gradually injects "base oil" and then drilling mud into the well via the choke line on the blowout preventer.

Adm. Allen just finished his morning briefing by telling everyone that, even though the BOP is leaking, BP is going ahead with the "injectivity test" prior to pumping the top kill.

After a roughly 24-hour delay to deal with last-minute leaks in equipment both at the surface of the Gulf of Mexico and at the sea floor, BP engineers initiated a diagnostic procedure called an injectivity test to see if they could push oil in the well back into its source rock.

The repair job was expected to delay the injectivity test only for a few hours.

Thrilled by that result -- "the injectivity test was textbook," said BP senior vice president Kent Wells -- the engineers started the mud shot.

In each of these procedures that BP has undertaken, the top kill, the well integrity test, the injectivity tests, and static kill, the pressures that BP announced actually exceeded the rated pressures of at least one of those components.
