Course Overview
PetroSync is proud to present “Trouble-Free Well Integrity Management” with the global leading expert, Rein Maatjes. Addressing vital issues in well integrity model, active management, well surveillance, risk mitigation, and real life lessons from offshore Africa, the Middle East, East Russia and the Far East regions.
“Sustained Offshore Wellbore Integrity“ (Day 1 -3) program will provide the essentials of both theory and practice in the field of production engineering. Evaluation and improvement on well deliverability will be addressed in details.
"Proactive Well Integrity Management" (Day 4-5) program is intended to address the science and management strategies related to maintaining well integrity throughout life cycle.
These programs will also provide in-depth interdisciplinary knowledge as applied to reservoir & production engineering through discussion of actual up-to-date field
experiences and case studies.
This program is designed for professionals of the following disciplines, who are involved in the design, construction, operation and services of wells:
• Production Technology
• Well Integrity Engineering
• Asset Management
• Production Maintenance & Operations
• Well Intervention
• Well Services
• Drilling Engineering
• Safety Engineering
Benefits:
- Understand well integrity management and its relation with CAPEX, OPEX
- Learn Preventative Maintenance and Benchmark processes for surface, subsurface, external and internal maintenance
- Identify and Diagnose mechanical integrity of well with latest technology:
- Fiber Optics, PLT, CFBM, Multi Finger Caliper, Non-intervention Investigation
- Be informed on catastrophic failure of well integrity : external and internal influences
- Monitor for and Understand mechanical integrity problems preventing potential production rates
- Consequences of loss of integrity of one well to its surrounding wells and potential financial exposure
- Know the underground blowout factors of older well and proper well abandonment
- Brainstorm FMEA, Active Management Model and Overcoming barriers with proven methodologies
- Benchmark and Discuss how to build an organization with sufficient well integrity competence and capability
This course combines several engineering disciplines involved in the design, construction, operation and maintenance of wells and their interaction on assuring well integrity. It illustrates the large extend in the organization and its effects on well integrity.
Aiming to enable common understanding of the often conflicting targets of the disciplines in achieving this. The course will also briefly touch on Failure Mode and Effect Analyses (FMEA), barrier testing and record keeping.
The ultimate objective is to optimize productivity at lowest unit operating cost and to maintain mechanical integrity throughout well life cycle.
