Eastern Alberta Surface Casing Vent Flow Repair

In September 2021, a well in the Bellis field of eastern Alberta was drilled horizontally, with surface casing set at 244 meters and cemented to prevent gas migration. Production casing was set at 819 meters, and four horizontal legs were drilled for oil extraction. However, an active surface casing vent flow and gas migration issue was discovered in October 2021.

To address this problem, 360 was contracted for intervention. Sucker rods and production tubing were removed, and diagnostic tools were used to identify two potential gas sources. Perforations and acidization attempts were made at 280 meters to connect with the gas source, with multiple tries and pressure adjustments. Eventually, a cement job was performed, and after curing and testing, the well passed the pressure test. The surface casing vent flow was eliminated, and the well was restored to production.

This intervention successfully resolved the wellbore integrity issues, allowing for continued production without surface casing vent flow and gas migration problems.

Residential Development Engineering Support

360 was engaged to consult on setback requirements on abandoned wellbores near a residential development outside of Edmonton, Alberta. During development construction, a crew uncovered a buried facility that had been previously undetected. 360 was engaged to assist and determined that the crew had discovered an abandoned on-site flowline that was lined with materials containing asbestos. A work plan for removal was developed including asbestos abatement and the pipeline was safely removed from the site.

Plugging Orphan Wells – Oilmont, Montana

360 has been involved in the plugging and abandonment of orphan wells across many regions of North America. We were recently engaged in a project in the state of Montana to assist in plugging of orphan wells drilled in the early 1900’s. 360 provided engineering, regulatory, on-site management, and third party procurement of the required well servicing equipment and plugging supplies. Orphan well projects require adaptability due to varying regulatory requirements by region and unavailable well data – 360 has experience managing these risks while maintaining control over unanticipated costs.

Reclassifying Shut-in Oil Well to a Produced Water Disposal Well

360 was engaged by a small oil producer to provide engineering support throughout the process of reclassifying a shut-in oil well to a produced water disposal well.

During this engagement, 360 evaluated various scenarios and advised the client on a cost-effective approach while ensuring strict adherence to regulatory guidelines and requirements.

360 facilitated the entire process from reclassification/disposal applications, reviewing well files, generating detailed wellbore schematics, conducting comprehensive survey and pool analyses, creating geological cross-sections, and effectively communicating the project’s intentions to mineral rights owners through formal notice of intents. In addition, operational procedures were created to ensure that all essential testing requirements were met and that the wellbore’s structural integrity remained intact. The final application package was then compiled and reviewed with the client to ensure the final deliverable aligned with client expectations prior to submitting to the appropriate regulatory body.

Central Alberta Abandonment & Phase 1 Closure Campaign

360 executed a closure campaign in central Alberta, offering our client a complete turnkey closure solution.

Project Summary:

Total Well Abandonment count – 53
Total Phase 1 ESA count – 103
Days to complete work – 80

Highlights:

Average well abandonment cost – $25,221
Average % of AER Directive 011 value – 70%
Phase 1 passing ratio – 76.8%
Variance to budget – ($342,102)
# of HSE incidents – 0

New Surface Casing Vent Flow Repair Technology

360 is a proponent of advancing new technology in the interest of lowering overall project cost and improving success rates. We are active participants in the Well Integrity and Abandonment Society (WIA) and were made aware of a new product that uses bio-mineralization technology to repair failed primary cement. 360 assisted a client in a trial of the new technology with engineering, on-site management, and operations support.

Public Infrastructure Project

During a public infrastructure construction project, an undocumented wellbore emitting methane and H₂S gas was discovered. 360 developed a detailed work plan to address the issue, including re-entry of the wellbore and installation of a cement plug to eliminate gas emissions. Our team successfully resolved the issue, ensuring the safety of the site and allowing construction to resume.

Jericho Diamond Mine Site Stabilization

Jericho is an abandoned open pit diamond mine located in Nunavut, approximately 420km northeast of Yellowknife. Outcome, in joint venture with Rowe’s Construction Ltd., was awarded the contract to mobilize all requisite heavy equipment, remote camp, and materials for the breaching three existing dams to restore previously natural water flow, grading and installing a cover over the existing tailings containment area, decommissioning above-ground storage tanks and structures, constructing an on-site lined containment facility for non-hazardous wastes, and consolidating hazardous material for off-site disposal.

Outcome created certainty for the owner by submitting a tender with a comprehensive mobilization plan which was carefully integrated with the construction plan. The regulatory approvals were quickly secured and the team overcame the structure demolition and frozen-core dam decommissioning challenges such that the project was completed within the tight six-month contract time constraint and slightly under the original tendered contract price.

Faro Mine Complex, Project Charter and Execution Plan—Yukon Territory

The Faro mine is an abandoned open pit lead-zinc mine in south-central Yukon which is under remediation. Outcome provided project management support to the Government of Canada with various project execution planning and procurement advisory services related to the Faro Mine Site Remediation Project. The scope of work involved project management and strategic advice for the overall mine remediation planning, control, and execution.

Gunnar and Loredo Uranium Mines – Saskatchewan

Retained by the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC), Outcome was awarded a five-year services agreement for project and construction management support for the large-scale $280 million remediation program of the former Gunnar and Loredo uranium mines near Uranium City. Outcome’s role encompassed project and construction management services, including technical writing for submittals, procurement, subcontractor management, project controls, Earned Value Management reporting, material testing, survey, and comprehensive reporting throughout the project to ensure client satisfaction and regulatory compliance.

Giant Mine, Project Execution Plan—Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Over a six-year period, Outcome Consultants provided project management advisory services for the remediation of the former Giant Mine, a project estimated at several hundred million dollars and expected to span nearly 15 years. Outcome’s scope included the preparation of a detailed Project Execution Plan encompassing management plans for this highly complex remediation project. Their expertise in remediation and risk management supported the integration of previous design outputs into a comprehensive execution plan, including critical path construction schedules and cost estimates.

Additional contributions included project management guidelines for project controls and performance reporting, regulatory support, supply chain management evaluations for the construction manager delivery model, and the development and delivery of training for federal project managers.

Facility Expansion Program

The Facility Expansion Program for a major oil producer included several key projects aimed at enhancing the capacity and efficiency of existing facilities. The program involved the expansion of multi-well batteries (MWB) and sour gas processing plants (SGPP), including the addition of new surface equipment and power generation capabilities. Key services included the amendment of several D056 licenses to expand MWB size and add surface equipment; and to expand one MWB to a SGPP. 360 also supported with associated EPEA and AUC applications and approvals. Additionally, the program covered a superpad expansion with added power generation and compression to a D056 license, completion of the associated EPEA application for a power plant approval with MWB > 16 kg/hr NOx, and the AUC application, all of which were approved.

Pipeline Construction During a Restricted Activity Period

360 provided full environmental services, from permitting to post-construction reclamation, for a major Gas Gathering System Expansion Project in Alberta. When a shift in the construction schedule meant working within a restricted trumpeter swan buffer, 360 developed and executed a mitigation plan to minimize disturbance while keeping the project on track. Through careful monitoring and adaptive strategies, the project was completed ahead of schedule with no short-term impact on trumpeter swan populations.
