• According to all categories concerning the cement job, this
well has a low risk due to the use of good quality cement to
seal off the preamble zone.
• The table below illustrates the summary of the probability
and impact of each category.

 Classification - Good
9/29a-2Z (S2): All categories marked "Yes." All required data is
available.
49/20a: All necessary data provided, including reservoir fluid,
plugs, cement, casing, and geological formation.

Classification - Poor
Inde N01 (49/24-N1): Poor due to missing cementing report.
23/27-3: Poor due to missing "Tasting and Tagging Plugs" and
quality of cement.
29/3a-B: Similar to 23/27-3, classified as Poor.

Critical Limitation for Poor Wells

Absence of cementing or tasting and tagging plugs information.
Importance of quality of cement in structural integrity.
Effects on stability, leakage risk, and long-term performance.
