Cracks in a casing, liner o r tubing can lead to contamination to the environment or to drinking water or of methane to the atmosphere, which may affect global warming. There is thus a nee d to identify problems and work on the wellbore structures to protect the enviro nment. Obstructions may be pipe deformations and items dropped, broken or left b ehind.
