Participants in this course will learn how to manage well design, construction, surveillance, and the documentation of well integrity for a “life-of-well” philosophy. An emphasis will be placed on how industry standards and guidelines relate to barrier construction, monitoring, and management. The proper understanding of these concepts will equip each participant with the tools to safely and reliably construct and verify the integrity of a well.
Specific concepts that will be covered during this course will include barrier concepts such as geology, casing, cementing, and various equipment used in completion. Well integrity standards for ISO, Norsok, API, UK, Canada, USA, and Norway will be covered. Participants will also learn about corrosion and erosion effects on barriers, issues with loads, pressure, and temperature on barrier integrity, along with barrier inspection and verification.
This course will use case studies and projects throughout the week, along with a final presentation by small groups where participants will demonstrate the integrity concepts, methods, importance, and problems topics that were covered during the course.

ExploreManagers, engineers, specialists and operations supervisors who are responsible for ensuring the integrity of an organization’s well assets are the intended audience for this course.
Participants will need an understanding of how wells are constructed and what purpose they serve. Additionally, all participants should have an understanding of general well design concepts, quality assurance methods, and verification and risk management fundamentals. In addition, participants should also have an understanding of the industry standards and guidelines, as well as how they may factor into the overall philosophy of well construction.
