COURSE OVERVIEW:

Well Integrity Management for Producing Wells is a critical program focused on the lifecycle governance of the "Well Barrier" system. Ensuring that fluids remain contained within the intended flow paths is not only a regulatory requirement but a fundamental safety and environmental necessity. This course provides a comprehensive framework for managing well integrity from handover through production, late-life, and final abandonment.

The scope of this training involves the application of international standards, such as ISO 16530 and API RP 90, to daily field operations. Participants will learn how to identify, monitor, and manage Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP) and annulus anomalies. The curriculum emphasizes the "Two-Barrier" principle, teaching attendees how to define, verify, and document the status of every barrier element, including cement, casing, packers, and wellhead valves.

Coverage also includes the organizational aspects of integrity management, such as Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) and Well Integrity Management Systems (WIMS). Attendees will learn how to perform barrier verification tests and how to prioritize remediation for wells that fail to meet integrity criteria. By focusing on both mechanical diagnostics and data-driven management, this course ensures that participants can safeguard their assets against leaks, blowouts, and environmental contamination.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Define the core principles of Well Integrity and the Lifecycle approach.
• Identify the primary and secondary barriers in various well types.
• Apply international standards (ISO 16530 / API RP 90) to asset management.
• Monitor and manage Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP) in all annuli.
• Perform and document Barrier Verification Tests (BVT).
• Distinguish between "Normal" and "Anomalous" annulus pressure behavior.
• Utilize Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) to prioritize well interventions.
• Analyze the impact of corrosion and erosion on wellbore integrity.
• Implement a Well Integrity Management System (WIMS) for large portfolios.
• Execute leak detection and diagnostic workflows for tubing and casing.
• Evaluate the integrity of cement bonds and their role in zonal isolation.
• Manage well integrity data and documentation for regulatory compliance.
• Lead a multidisciplinary "Well Integrity Review" for mature assets.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Well Integrity Engineers, Production Engineers, Asset Managers, Regulatory Compliance Officers, and Field Supervisors.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
