The urgent global need to mitigate climate change by significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions has
driven the adoption of innovative solutions in the energy sector. Implementing CCS/CCUS operations is one
way the energy sector can contribute to cutting emissions. CO? injection is a core component of CCS/CCUS
operations, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions by storing CO? underground.
Well G, currently a suspended gas production well in the X Field, is planned for conversion into a CO2 injection
well for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Prior to initiating CO2 injection operations, several critical
analyses must be conducted to assess the tubing's suitability, including corrosion rate, risk of failure, material
selection, and tubing stress analysis. These evaluations are essential to ensure safe and seamless CO2 injection
operations without potential issues.
The tubing analysis indicates that the 5½” x 3½” tubing, made of L80 grade material with 13Cr, is deemed safe
for CO2 injection at a rate of 59 MMSCFD, with a corrosion rate of 1.66 mm over a 12-year injection period.
For enhanced material strength and durability, the use of at least Super 13Cr material is recommended. Tubing
stress analysis confirms that the selected tubing, with its specified weight, grade, and connection, can withstand
various loads and operational conditions. This study evaluates the feasibility of converting a gas producer well
into a CO2 injection well for CCS operations.
