Assessment of zonal isolation risk to changes in design parameters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Well Containment Screening Tool (WCST) focuses on well integrity evaluation after well control incident. The WCST favors a greater wall thickness and, hence, a narrower cementing annulus, potentially increasing the risk of cement loss.
