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 be able to:
- 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
