ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
This 3-days training will provide a comprehensive review of integrity of wells
exposed to carbon dioxide (CO2) in the context of Carbon Capture Utilization for
enhanced oil recovery and Storage (CCUS). CO2 geological storage is a proven
technology to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from sources such as coal power
plants, cement kilns and steel mills. Wells are widely considered the most
critical containment element, especially older wells that are not used to inject
CO2 or monitor the plume evolution in the storage reservoir. The main reason for
this perceived risk is the high corrosion rate of carbon steel when exposed to
wet CO2, and the tendency of Portland cement to react with the gas.
The training course advanced contents build on 15 years' experience in carbon
storage, both in the development and deployment of technologies. First-hand,
in-depth knowledge of the subject will allow us to debunk myths and focus on the
real challenges of wells encountering CO2.
Training Objectives
After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to:
* Explain the CCUS market drivers
* Examine the behavior of CO2, on surface and in the reservoir
* Diagnose cement defects and design repairs
* Understand the limits of Portland cement
* Assess the benefits of different technologies and materials
* Realize why geology is a dominant factor in cement performance
* Critically choose the most appropriate monitoring techniques
* Classify aging processes of cement, steel, and rock when exposed to CO2
* Assess the risk of existing wells if they encounter the CO2 plume
* Examine recent advances in real-time approaches to the production monitoring
and lift management
Target Audience
This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit:
* All surface technical personnel such as process engineers & technologists
* Facility engineers, production engineers & technologists
* Drilling engineers and Well engineers
* Design engineers and Integrity engineers
* P&A engineers and Cementing engineers
* Geologists
* Senior management executives will benefit from this training as covers an
overview of the technical and commercial details of CO2 capture technologies
and risks involved.
Course Level
* Intermediate
Training Methods
The training instructor relies on a highly interactive training method to
enhance the learning process. This method ensures that all participants gain a
complete understanding of all the topics covered. The training environment is
highly stimulating, challenging, and effective because the participants will
learn by case studies which will allow them to apply the material taught in
their own organization.
Course Duration: 3 days in total (21 hours).

Trainer
Your expert course leader is an engineer with a passion for well integrity and
possesses 28 years of international experience in field operations, technology
development and management in the oil & gas and carbon storage sectors. Since
2018 he is program chair of the Well Integrity Technical Section of the Society
of Petroleum Engineers (SPE). He is also author or co-author of 31 technical
papers, a book chapter on CO2 geological storage and 7 patent applications. He
delivers training on well integrity, plug and abandonment, asset integrity, risk
management and QHSE across the Eastern Hemisphere, and carries out active
research on harnessing geological barriers, modeling leaks through cement, and
quantifying methane emissions from oil & gas wells. He has extensive expertise
in: Well integrity, cementing, corrosion, upstream oil & gas (drilling,
completion), carbon capture and storage, mathematical modeling, risk management,
reliability, HSSE (health/safety/security/environment), asset integrity,
management systems, sustainable development, project management, portfolio
management, training, and technology development and innovation. He has
personally worked on CCS projects in Europe (France, Germany, Netherlands,
Norway), Algeria, Japan and USA.

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.
