Challenges
- Large thief zone encountered that was not present in offset wells
- Short timeframe to mobilise equipment and personnel for the challenging operation
- Limited availability of section milling equipment in Australia requiring mobilisation of equipment from around the globe
- Integration of casing swarf recovery equipment with the rig equipment
- Abandonment design to be suitable for a well situated in a potential CO2 storage site
- Victorian bushfires active whilst operational, heavily impacting logistics
- Bespoke arrangements and expertise required to minimise impact on equipment and personnel
