A review of well life cycle integrity challenges in the oil and gas industry and its implications for sustained casing pressure (SCP). (2024)
Journal Article
IBUKUN, M., ELYAN, E., AMISH, M., NJUGUNA, J. and OLUYEMI, G.F. 2024. A review of well life cycle integrity challenges in the oil and gas industry and its implications for sustained casing pressure (SCP). Energies [online], 17(22), article number 5562. Available from: https://doi.org/10.3390/en17225562

Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP) is a condition in oil and gas wells where continuous pressure buildup in the well casing over a long period of time occurs. Several factors might be responsible for this, including the influx of formation fluids, the l...
