About the Symposium 

Welcome to the SPE Thermal Well Integrity and Design Symposium.

Well integrity requires attention to all stages of a well's lifecycle. From initial well-pad and well planning, to well design, construction, start-up and operation/production, any workover or interventions work, and eventually abandonment. This requires input and collaboration between a large number of groups and individuals at any company, as well as externally with service providers, equipment manufacturers, and regulators. It is our job and responsibility to ensure that wells are properly designed and that potential issues are brought forward to ensure our energy resources are produced in a safe, efficient and environmentally responsible manner.

This year's event will continue to address and build on the well integrity topics that have been a mainstay of this event over the years: such as regulations, well design, various tests and trials, lessons-learned, and mitigating measures. It will also highlight new and innovative well integrity technologies to design, construct, evaluate, monitor, and repair thermal and unconventional wells. 

Attend an SPE In-Person Event - Your Safety is our Primary Concern

This November SPE Canada is excited to finally be holding our first in-person events since the pandemic started! We have received feedback from many of our members who welcome the transition back to live events and are looking forward to getting out from behind their screens and connecting with colleagues and peers at these technical workshops. It is our hope that companies support SPE Canada by sending their employees to our events.

The decision to return to in-person events has been made with much consideration and care, and we want attendees to feel safe. SPE Canada and the venues where we will be  holding events will be following the Restrictions Exemption Program (REP). More information about the REP and the safety precautions we will be following is available in a one page PDF. We encourage you to share this with your colleagues and management.

 The Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) is a not-for-profit organization. Income from this event will be invested back into SPE to support many other Society programs. When you attend an SPE event, you help provide even more opportunities for industry professionals to enhance their technical and professional competence. Scholarships, certification, the Distinguished Lecturer program, and SPE's energy education program Energy4me are just a few examples of programs that are supported by SPE.
