Specific type of Downhole cross-flow occurring behind the casing through:
| open space between casing and rocks |
| channels and fractures in cement, filling the space between casing and rocks |
| gaps between cement and rocks due to poor cement-rocks bond |
| gaps between cement and casing due to poor cement-casing bond |
fissure network in rocks behind cement |
