Section 278
Disposition versions
278. Before starting the temporary closure work, the authorization holder must carry out a pressure and leak test of the casing at a pressure of 7 MPa.
The holder must also, if production tubing is installed, carry out a pressure and leak test of the tubing and annular spaces at a pressure of 7 MPa.
The tightness is confirmed if the stabilized pressure is at least 90% of the pressure applied over a minimum interval of 10 minutes.
If the wellhead configuration does not allow pressure and leak tests, a visual observation carried out with a one-time measurement of leakage may be carried out.
