Advanced Well Integrity Management Course
Introduction:
The purpose of this 5-day training course on Advanced Well Integrity Management is to equip participants with in-depth knowledge and understanding of well integrity faults and risks. The course provides an excellent opportunity for participants to exchange ideas and refine their understanding of well integrity management concepts. It emphasizes the importance of adopting a sound decision-making approach to ensure certainty within the organization.
Having the knowledge and skills to make critical decisions throughout the well life cycle is crucial, not only for the purpose of well integrity management but also for maximizing economic value. The training course focuses on well integrity management systems and their interfaces with other teams within the organization. It covers the definition of integrity barriers, the Well Failure model, and techniques for establishing an effective well integrity organization.
Course Objectives:
This training course on Advanced Well Integrity Management aims to:
- Improve the delegates’ appreciation of the well design and annulus construction; i.e. the well as a “pressure vessel”
- Provide knowledge & understanding of the guidelines and standards that when observed and implemented effectively will ensure well integrity
- Establish an increased awareness of well integrity issues and how they are controlled/managed and by whom
- Provide knowledge of how to maintain equipment for safe and effective operation
Who Should Attend?
This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Affiliate Technical Directors
