Identifying False Positive SCVF in Onshore CSG Wells

• By eliminating false positives commonly associated with traditional bubble tests, the Ventbuster® system enabled the operator to prioritise well interventions effectively.
• Data confirming no gas migration was used as scientific evidence to support well decommissioning and restoration planning, avoiding unnecessary re-entry and reducing project costs.

Value to Client

The Ventbuster® system provided definitive evidence to distinguish genuine gas migration from false positives caused by atmospheric fluctuations. This allowed the operator to confidently decommission wells without unnecessary intervention, reducing costs and operational delays. By eliminating reliance on traditional, less rigorous bubble tests, the client avoided costly re-entry and extended monitoring of wells that did not require further remediation. Additionally, Ventbuster®’s real-time digital data enabled informed decision-making, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards while optimising resource allocation.
