Well Integrity Management

Program Overview

Loss of well integrity can lead to uncontrolled releases, environmental damage and lost production, and ageing well stocks in the Gulf make systematic control essential. This programme covers the full well life cycle: barrier philosophy and well barrier schematics, annulus pressure monitoring and MAASP calculation, sustained casing pressure diagnosis, corrosion and cement evaluation, valve and wellhead testing, risk-based categorisation of wells and governance aligned with ISO 16530 and NORSOK D-010. Participants learn to build and run a practical integrity programme for producing and injection wells.

Learning Outcomes

✓Draw a well barrier schematic identifying primary and secondary barrier envelopes for a producing well.
✓Calculate MAASP for each annulus and set operating and alarm limits.
✓Diagnose sustained casing pressure using bleed-down and build-up test data.
✓Classify wells into risk categories and define the required actions and review frequency for each.
✓Specify a testing and inspection schedule for SSSVs, wellhead valves and annuli.
✓Evaluate corrosion and cement logs to support decisions on workover or abandonment.

Applied Project & Assessment

Applied Project

Participants prepare an integrity review for a case well with annulus pressure anomalies: barrier schematic, MAASP calculations, interpretation of bleed-down data, risk category assignment and a prioritised remediation and monitoring plan.

Assessment

Short diagnostic at the start, practical tasks linked to each learning outcome, and evaluation of the applied project against published criteria.
