A method for pressure- and flow-prevetive fixing of well pipes, preferably
liners and casings (14, 54, 60, 66) in a well when drilling the well,
wherein the method also may be used in a completed well in order to place
a pressure- and flow-preventive barrier in an annulus (16) surrounded by
at least one leaking well pipe. The method comprises the use of granular
particles of unconsolidated matter which, by means of their particle
sorting, are arranged with a suitably small permeability, and wherein the
particles of unconsolidated matter thereafter are mixed with water and
potential other additives to become a fluidised mixture of unconsolidated
matter (22) subsequently being placed, preferably by pumping, as a
pressure- and flow-preventive barrier of unconsolidated matter (38, 56,
62, 68) in the pertinent annulus (16). The barrier of unconsolidated
matter (38, 56, 62, 68) is placed in the annulus (16) in such a way that
inflowing fluids are brought into contact with, and are prevented from
flowing by, the barrier of unconsolidated matter (38, 56, 62, 68) which,
owing to the method, thus also is arranged with a suitably small
permeability.
