Mechanical integrity definition

Mechanical integrity means the process of ensuring that process equipment is fabricated from the proper materials of construction and is properly installed, maintained, and replaced to prevent failures and accidental releases.

Mechanical integrity means, for an injection well, there is no significant leak in the casing, tubing or packer, and there is no significant fluid movement into an unauthorized zone through vertical channels adjacent to the injection well bore. The determination that there are no significant leaks or fluid movement is based on the results of the mechanical integrity testing required in Section 7 of this Chapter.

Mechanical integrity means the condition of a product, a system, or equipment installed in accordance with its intended purpose and according to:

Examples of Mechanical integrity in a sentence

• Mechanical integrity tests shall be performed on all wells (injection, extraction, and monitoring wells) before the well is utilized and on wells that have been serviced with equipment or procedures that could damage the well casing.

• Mechanical integrity tests shall be performed on each injection and production well before the wells are utilized and on wells that have been serviced with equipment or procedures that could damage the well casing.

• Mechanical integrity refers to an absence of leakage pathways through the casing and cement.

• Mechanical integrity testing shall be performed within thirty (30) days of the completion of any workovers or alterations.

• Response: Mechanical integrity testing on injection wells is a biennial compliance requirement by CalfiEM.

More Definitions of Mechanical integrity

Mechanical integrity means the absence of significant leakage within an injection well’s tubing, casing, or packer (internal mechanical integrity), or outside of the casing (external mechanical integrity).

Mechanical integrity means that all well barrier envelopes, including but not limited to, the tubing, packer, wellhead, and casing, reliably perform their primary functions of containing pressure and are free from leakage.

Mechanical integrity means the sound and unimpaired condition of all components of the well or facility or system for control of a subsurface discharge and associated activities.

Mechanical integrity means mechanically complete, performs the function for which it was intended and is unimpaired.

Mechanical integrity means a well condition that exists if there is no significant leakage in the well’s casing, tubing, or packer and if there is no significant fluid movement into an underground source of drinking water through vertical channels adjacent to the injection well bore.

Mechanical integrity means a condition of injection wells that exists if there is not leakage in the well’s casing, tubing, or packer and if there is not fluid movement into an under- ground source of drinking water through vertical channels adjacent to the well bore.

Mechanical integrity means an injection well, a production well, or a monitor well where there is no significant leak in the casing, tubing, or packer, and there is no significant fluid movement into an unauthorized zone through vertical channels adjacent to the injection or recovery well bore.
