ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This intensive 5 full-day has been designed as a separately bookable course
comprising 3 days of Well Integrity (Basic) and 2 days of Advanced Well
Integrity.
The intensive 3 full-day course will equip the participants with a thorough
knowledge of well integrity management and risk assessment in producing assets.
Based on the regulatory requirements and using real examples and exercises from
around the world, this represents best practice integrity management within the
oil and gas industry.
When to take action with a well is a critical decision, both from a safety and
economic perspective. A consistent approach to decision-making provides
certainty within the organisation, focusing effort, and spending wisely. The
decision-making steps will be set out to ensure all critical aspects are
captured consistently. Risk analysis approaches used by different organisations
and examples of risk management and risk-ranking methods will be discussed.
The 2 full-day course will deepen the participants' knowledge of well integrity
management, and skills for designing, operating, and maintaining well equipment.
The ultimate goal is to optimise productivity at the lowest Unit Operating Cost
(UOC) and to maintain mechanical integrity throughout well life cycle.
Well Integrity management is looked at in three distinct stages. The first stage
is during the well design which includes material selection, engineering design,
cement design, coating and inhibitors and cathodic protection. The second stage
is monitoring the well during the life of the well, locating possible leaks and
/ or loss of metal. The last stage is to manage and control any well integrity
issues using specialised products, services and techniques.
Training Objectives
1. Well Integrity Training:
Upon completion of this course, the participants will be able to:
* Define the building blocks of a successful well integrity management system
* Develop an approach to risk management, understand risk analysis and methods
applied across the industry
* How do we 'Make Wells Safer', learn about emerging technologies for well
integrity problem diagnosis and new techniques available to 'repair' the
issues
* Execute the basic elements of well integrity management training for field
operators
* Evaluate well design elements that enhance or hinder well integrity status
definition during the operating phase of the well life-cycle
* Gain the demonstrable benefits of well integrity management from field
experience
* Review cases studies and discuss them to enhance knowledge and take on board
lessons learned
2. Advanced Well Integrity:
* Define well integrity well categorization based on compliance to the barrier
policy outlined in the regulations and develop an approach to risk management
* Discuss well-completion design and construction to create a 'integer' well
with the lowest life cycle maintenance cost from a WIM perspective
* Monitoring and surveillance of well integrity, focusing on barrier competence
such as cementing and corrosion
* Investigate and manage well integrity issues, causes & potential solutions
* Understand repairs needed to address 'Loss of Well Operating Envelope'
* Gain an overview understanding of Well Suspension & Well Abandonment
* Discuss further case studies as well as conduct a post course test
Target Audience
Invaluable for production, operations, and integrity professionals involved in
implementing & managing well integrity and seeking to improve performance. It is
also essential for those who need to develop and implement such systems, or who
have a general need to know and understand more about well integrity management.
The course will also provide a fresh approach for senior professionals and
managers. Designed for professionals in the oil and gas industry who are
involved in the design, construction and operation of wells from the following
disciplines:
* Production Maintenance
* Production Operations
* Drilling Engineering
* Safety engineering
* Well Intervention
* Well Integrity Engineering
* Asset Management
Course Level
* Intermediate
* Advanced
Trainer
Gordon Duncan has over 40 years of experience in the Oil & Gas industry. During
that time, he has worked exclusively in well intervention and completions. After
a number of years working for intervention service companies (completions,
slickline & workovers), he joined Shell as a well service supervisor. He was
responsible for the day-to-day supervision of all well intervention work on
Shell's Persian/Arabian Gulf platforms. This included completion running, coil
tubing, e-line, slickline, hydraulic workovers, well testing and stimulation
operations. An office-based role as a senior well engineer followed.
He was responsible for planning, programming and organising of all the well
engineering and intervention work on a number of fields in the Middle East. He
had a brief spell as a Site Representative for Santos in Australia before
joining Petro-Canada as Completions Superintendent in Syria, then moved to
Australia as Completions Operations Superintendent for Santos, before returning
to Shell as Field Supervisor Completions and Well Interventions in Iraq where he
carried out the first ever formal abandonment of a well in the Majnoon Field.
While working on rotation, he regularly taught Completion Practices, Well
Intervention, Well Integrity and Reporting & Planning courses all over the
world. In 2014, he started to focus 100% on training and became the Technical
Director for PetroEDGE.
Since commencing delivering training courses in 2008, he has taught over 300
courses in 31 cities in 16 countries to in excess of 3,500 participants.
POST TRAINING COACHING SUPPORT (OPTIONAL)
To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer
individualized 'One to One' coaching support for 2 hours post training. We can
help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your
learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your
capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be
delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers.
They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help
you achieve your goals faster.
