About
The lecture examines how zone permeability, fluid content, formation pressure, reservoir-recharge prediction, and caprock integrity inform subsurface isolation and abandonment-barrier placement. It addresses data limitations in the overburden, aging-well infrastructure, cost and optimization opportunities, and case studies involving collaboration among subsurface specialists, well engineers, and operators. The presentation emphasizes a data-driven, risk-based approach to well abandonment and the role of subsurface expertise in well-decommissioning decisions.
