• Understand the importance of well integrity in ensuring safe and efficient operations.
• Learn about well integrity lifecycle stages, from drilling to abandonment.
• Identify key industry standards and regulations (API RP 90, ISO 16530-1, NORSOK D-010).

2. Understanding Annular Pressure and Well Integrity Risks

• Define annular pressure buildup (APB) and its impact on well integrity.
• Differentiate between sustained casing pressure (SCP), thermal-induced pressure, and trapped annular pressure.
• Learn how formation strength, temperature effects, and casing deformations contribute to annular pressure challenges.

3. Annular Pressure Evaluation Techniques

• Implement pressure testing and monitoring techniques for detecting annular pressure issues.
• Learn about downhole pressure sensors, surface monitoring, and real-time data acquisition.
• Use log-based and modeling techniques to analyze annular pressure behavior.

4. Casing, Cement, and Barrier Integrity Assessment

• Understand casing and cement barrier requirements for well integrity.
• Learn about cement evaluation tools (CBL, VDL, ultrasonic imaging, and bond logs).
• Assess mechanical integrity using pressure tests, casing inspections, and caliper logs.

5. Well Integrity Management Strategies

• Learn about well integrity classification and risk-based assessments.
• Develop well integrity monitoring programs and mitigation strategies.
• Understand regulatory compliance and documentation requirements.

6. Annular Pressure Mitigation and Control

• Implement pressure bleed-off and management techniques.
• Learn about mechanical and chemical solutions for annular pressure remediation.
• Understand sealant and barrier placement techniques to restore well integrity.

7. Well Intervention and Remediation Techniques

• Learn about wireline, coiled tubing, and workover intervention methods for well integrity issues.
• Understand how to conduct squeeze cementing, casing patches, and resin treatments.
• Develop troubleshooting techniques for annular pressure anomalies.

8. Case Studies and Best Practices

• Analyze real-world case studies of annular pressure incidents and well integrity failures.
• Apply best practices in proactive well integrity management and predictive maintenance.
• Develop a customized action plan for well integrity assurance and regulatory compliance.
