Devices Suitable for Sectional Isolation Along Both Cased and Open-hole Wellbores - Materials Testing Report

The main goal of this project is to develop an annular isolation system capable to withstand geothermal downhole conditions and mitigate the problems experienced by conventional packers in FORGE wells. This materials testing report is based on thermoplastic and elastomeric materials testing at high temperatures, as part of the project management and planning phase of the project. More specifically, the theoretical study on thermal-cyclic resistance of Welltec's annular barrier system. Dimension and hardness testing was performed in samples subjected to 8 temperature cycles of 2 weeks duration up to 650 Degrees F.

本项目的核心目标是研发一种能够承受地热井底条件并减轻传统封堵器在FORGE井中遭遇问题的环形隔离系统。本材料测试报告基于高温下的热塑性及弹性体材料测试，作为项目管理与规划阶段的工作内容之一。具体而言，对Welltec环形屏障系统的热循环耐久性进行了理论研究。对样本进行的尺寸和硬度测试是在承受了为期两周、共计8个温度循环的条件下进行的，最高温度达到650华氏度。
