Permanent plugging and abandonment of wells

Approximately 2200 oil and gas wells on the Norwegian continental shelf fall within the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authoritys’s area of responsibility. All present and future wells will sooner or later be plugged and abandoned with an eternal perspective. The updated animation show the principles for permanent plugging and abandonment and visualize how well barriers are established. Our goal is that all wells will be permanent plugged and abandoned in a robust and efficient manner for perpentuity.
