WELL INTEGRITY TECHNOLOGIES



Details :

This highly-interactive training course covers the main aspects of Well Integrity, starting with the construction of the well. Keeping the well operation within the safety envelope is critical for any oil & gas operator (well integrity). Well integrity technologies, focusing on monitoring problematic wells, diagnosing the causes of those problems, and implementing techniques to mitigate and/or repair those problems in order to keep the wells operating safely and avoid release of hydrocarbons to environment.

This training course will highlight:

  • Well integrity technologies
  • Focus on monitoring problematic wells
  • Diagnose of causes of those problems
  • Implementing techniques to mitigate and/or repair those problems

By the end of this training course, participants will feel confident in their understanding of:

  • The fundamentals of well integrity monitoring, and all implications on production efficiency
  • How to monitor and identify well integrity problems and technical procedures available for their mitigation

This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

  • Petroleum Engineers
  • Production Engineers
  • Drilling Engineers
  • Completion Engineers
  • Oil Field Technical Staff

This  training course will be presented using properly designed slides, some with animation and several videos on relevant issues. A printed manual containing all the slides and/or electronic from in PDF will be delivered to each attendant. Teaching methods include also calculations on related issues. Several examples of SAP (Sustainable Annulus Pressures) investigation will be presented.
