This Advanced Well Integrity Management training course is designed to equip participants with the knowledge required to thoroughly assess the risks and issues associated with well integrity. It provides a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas and clarify key concepts surrounding well integrity management. The course will explore the appropriate decision-making processes necessary to ensure organizational certainty.
Understanding the critical decisions throughout the well life cycle is essential—not only for maintaining well integrity but also for maximizing economic value. This course will emphasize well integrity management systems and their interaction with other organizational teams. Topics include defining integrity barriers, understanding well failure models, and creating an efficient well integrity organization.
This Energy Training Centre training course will deepen your understanding of well integrity management and help develop the skills required to design, operate, and maintain well equipment, with the ultimate goal of ensuring safe, permanent containment of wellbore fluids.
Key topics covered will include:
- The concept of Well Integrity
- Familiarity with regional standards and regulations
- The various stages of well operations, from design and construction to production, and their impact on well integrity
- The risks associated with different well integrity issues
- Techniques for reducing and mitigating these risks
- The procedures, roles, and responsibilities of personnel involved throughout the well life cycle
- Focus areas for well integrity assurance
- The production supervisor’s responsibilities concerning well integrity
This Advanced Well Integrity Management training is designed to:
- Enhance participants' understanding of well design and annulus construction, viewing the well as a "pressure vessel."
- Offer insight into the guidelines and standards that, when properly followed, will ensure well integrity.
- Raise awareness of well integrity issues, including how they are managed and by the appropriate personnel.
- Equip participants with knowledge on maintaining equipment for safe and efficient operation.
This Advanced Well Integrity Management training course will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative.
By sending their employees to this Advanced Well Integrity Management training course, the organization will benefit in the following ways:
- Reduced well costs and minimized environmental pollution risks.
- Extended well life, including optimization of all factors involved in well design.
- Ensuring well integrity by mitigating risks and addressing issues in a logical and straightforward manner.
