About this Training Course This intensive 5 full-day has been designed as a separately bookable course comprising 3 days of Well Integrity (Basic) and 2 days of Advanced Well Integrity. The intensive 3 full-day course will equip the participants with a thorough knowledge of well integrity management and risk assessment in producing assets. Based on the regulatory requirements and using real examples and exercises from around the world, this represents best practice integrity management within the oil and gas industry. When to take action with a well is a critical decision, both from a safety and economic perspective. A consistent approach to decision-making provides certainty within the organisation, focusing effort, and spending wisely. The decision-making steps will be set out to ensure all critical aspects are captured consistently. Risk analysis approaches used by different organisations and examples of risk management and risk-ranking methods will be discussed. The 2 full-day course will deepen the participants' knowledge of well integrity management, and skills for designing, operating, and maintaining well equipment. The ultimate goal is to optimise productivity at the lowest Unit Operating Cost (UOC) and to maintain mechanical integrity throughout well life cycle. 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. Training Objectives 1. Well Integrity Training: Upon completion of this course, the participants will be able to: Define the building blocks of a successful well integrity management system Develop an approach to risk management, understand risk analysis and methods applied across the industry How do we 'Make Wells Safer', learn about emerging technologies for well integrity problem diagnosis and new techniques available to 'repair' the issues Execute the basic elements of well integrity management training for field operators Evaluate well design elements that enhance or hinder well integrity status definition during the operating phase of the well life-cycle Gain the demonstrable benefits of well integrity management from field experience Review cases studies and discuss them to enhance knowledge and take on board lessons learned 2. Advanced Well Integrity: Define well integrity well categorization based on compliance to the barrier policy outlined in the regulations and develop an approach to risk management Discuss well-completion design and construction to create a 'integer' well with the lowest life cycle maintenance cost from a WIM perspective Monitoring and surveillance of well integrity, focusing on barrier competence such as cementing and corrosion Investigate and manage well integrity issues, causes & potential solutions Understand repairs needed to address 'Loss of Well Operating Envelope' Gain an overview understanding of Well Suspension & Well Abandonment Discuss further case studies as well as conduct a post course test Target Audience Invaluable for production, operations, and integrity professionals involved in implementing & managing well integrity and seeking to improve performance. It is also essential for those who need to develop and implement such systems, or who have a general need to know and understand more about well integrity management. The course will also provide a fresh approach for senior professionals and managers.
