Plugging

Encana finally returned to plug the abandoned well.




If I understand the operation, they will put a plug at the bottom of the well casing, pump in some cement, put another plug somewhere above the first one, pump in some more cement and continue this process at strategic points along the well bore according to requirements of the state RR Commission.

Each plug necessitates lowering the plug into place and pumping cement above the plug. The tower allows the workmen to pull the working pipe between each operation. I am not sure how long it will take to complete the operation.
