A Proactive Approach to Ensure Well Integrity During the Construction and Operation of Wells


Disciplines: Completions | Drilling

Course Description

Well Integrity management is looked at in three distinct stages, the first stage is during the well design which includes material selection, engineering design, cement design, coating and inhibitors and cathodic protection. The second stage is monitoring the well during the life of the well locating possible leaks and/or loss of metal. The last stage is to manage and control any well integrity issues using specialised products, services and techniques.

This course will:

  • Define the building blocks of a successful well integrity management programme
  • Define well integrity well categorisation based on compliance to the barrier policy outlined in the regulations and develop an approach to risk management
  • Well barriers and their verification
  • Monitoring and surveillance of well integrity (focus on cementing and corrosion)
  • Understand the well integrity ISO standard (calculation of MAASP etc.)

Course Length

2 - 4 Days

Why Attend

To enable participants to understand the well integrity management principles and well Integrity components during the lifecycle of the well and acquire the tools and methods to eliminate and/or mitigate the loss the well integrity during design, construction and well operations. The participants will learn how to manage a well within its operating envelope which has lost its integrity and how to manage a well within its operating envelope which has lost its integrity.

Who Attends

The intended audience of this workshop is engineers and production technologists who are involved in well planning, design, construction, drilling, completion, production, well intervention and safety.
