Session 4: Re-entering Deformed Wellbores
Chairs: Charles Bourgeois, DarkVision; Mitch Schinnour, ConocoPhillips
This session will explore topics focused on re-entering wellbores where casing deformation challenges exist. We will explore techniques to regain access for plug and perf operations, successfully conduct plug drill out operations, full life cycle interventions, and re-fracturing. Presenters will share insights and provide practical solutions and innovative approaches to these challenges.
