Reducing operational time during plug and abandonment (P&A) activities directly translates to cost savings by minimizing rig time and supporting a more sustainable abandonment strategy. In a recent offshore P&A campaign in the UAE, the operator required an efficient cut and pull (C&P) solution to recover 13⅜-inch casing. A critical requirement was verifying the integrity of a cement plug prior to performing the C&P. To address this challenge and explore a trip-saving approach, the operator engaged Wellbore Integrity Solutions (WIS).

WIS successfully delivered an integrated well intervention solution using the ProMAXX® system, which enabled both cement plug verification and casing recovery in a single trip and maximized overall savings on the P&A operation.
