Improved approaches to long-term monitoring of decommissioned wells
This project investigated options for long-term monitoring of well integrity in decommissioned onshore gas wells in the Northern Territory, including assessment of well decommissioning practices and monitoring techniques and technology, in the context of Northern Territory regulatory requirements.
Knowledge developed through this project will assist in the development of approaches to long-term well monitoring to support best practice in onshore gas well decommissioning activities in the Northern Territory.

Long-term monitoring of decommissioned onshore gas wells
This final report explores the available approaches for long-term monitoring of decommissioned wells in the Northern Territory. The report considers the factors that may influence long-term decommissioned well integrity, the monitoring techniques available at different stages of the decommissioning process, and remediation options should an integrity issue be detected.
