This 3-days training will provide a comprehensive review of integrity of wells exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) in the context of Carbon Capture Utilization for enhanced oil recovery and Storage (CCUS). CO2 geological storage is a proven technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from sources such as coal power plants, cement kilns and steel mills. Wells are widely considered the most critical containment element, especially older wells that are not used to inject CO2 or monitor the plume evolution in the storage reservoir. The main reason for this perceived risk is the high corrosion rate of carbon steel when exposed to wet CO2, and the tendency of Portland cement to react with the gas.
The training course advanced contents build on 15 years’ experience in carbon storage, both in the development and deployment of technologies. First-hand, in-depth knowledge of the subject will allow us to debunk myths and focus on the real challenges of wells encountering CO2.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to:
Explain the CCUS market drivers
Examine the behavior of CO2, on surface and in the reservoir
Diagnose cement defects and design repairs
Understand the limits of Portland cement
Assess the benefits of different technologies and materials
Realize why geology is a dominant factor in cement performance
Critically choose the most appropriate monitoring techniques
Classify aging processes of cement, steel, and rock when exposed to CO2
Assess the risk of existing wells if they encounter the CO2 plume
Examine recent advances in real-time approaches to the production monitoring and lift management
TARGET AUDIENCE
This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit:
All surface technical personnel such as process engineers & technologists
Facility engineers, production engineers & technologists
Drilling engineers and Well engineers
Design engineers and Integrity engineers
P&A engineers and Cementing engineers
Geologists
Senior management executives will benefit from this training as covers an overview of the technical and commercial details of CO2 capture technologies and risks involved.

TRAINING METHODS
The training instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught in their own organization.
Course Duration: 3 days in total (21 hours).

TRAINER
Your expert course leader is an engineer with a passion for well integrity and possesses 28 years of international experience in field operations, technology development and management in the oil & gas and carbon storage sectors. Since 2018 he is program chair of the Well Integrity Technical Section of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). He is also author or co-author of 31 technical papers, a book chapter on CO2 geological storage and 7 patent applications. He delivers training on well integrity, plug and abandonment, asset integrity, risk management and QHSE across the Eastern Hemisphere, and carries out active research on harnessing geological barriers, modeling leaks through cement, and quantifying methane emissions from oil & gas wells. He has extensive expertise in: Well integrity, cementing, corrosion, upstream oil & gas (drilling, completion), carbon capture and storage, mathematical modeling, risk management, reliability, HSSE (health/safety/security/environment), asset integrity, management systems, sustainable development, project management, portfolio management, training, and technology development and innovation. He has personally worked on CCS projects in Europe (France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway), Algeria, Japan and USA.
