Advanced Well Integrity Management – Securing the Well Lifecycle from Concept Selection to Final Abandonment

By the end of this 5-day Advanced Well Integrity Management program, participants will be able to:

1. Implement a standards‑aligned Well Integrity Management System (WIMS) that defines governance, accountability, assurance activities, and continuous improvement across the full well lifecycle.
2. Apply barrier philosophy and acceptance criteria in practice by defining barrier architecture, verifying barrier status, and managing degradation using a risk‑based integrity envelope approach.
3. Translate global regulatory and industry requirements into executable field practice, drawing on principles from NORSOK, ISO well integrity standards, and well examination expectations.
4. Design completion systems for long‑term integrity and low life‑cycle cost, including material selection, corrosion mitigation, reliability planning, and accommodation of changing operating modes such as injection, artificial lift, stimulation, and late‑life operation.
5. Diagnose well integrity anomalies and failure mechanisms using structured failure models, integrity testing protocols, and evidence‑based assessment of SCP, MAASP, and operating envelope excursions.
6. Select, justify, and plan remediation strategies—both rig‑based and rigless—to restore containment and reinstate the barrier envelope, including complex multi‑barrier failure scenarios.
7. Manage deviations and derogations through robust Management of Change (MOC), including defensible risk acceptance, operation under constrained envelopes, and clear triggers for intervention, shut‑in, or abandonment.
8. Make informed end‑of‑life integrity decisions, including life‑extension screening, well suspension design, and abandonment planning aligned with regulatory, environmental, and long‑term liability considerations.
9. Interface effectively with assurance and regulatory functions, including well examiners, audits, and inspections, by preparing clear evidence packs, documentation, and performance justification.

This training is designed for people directly accountable for or engaged in Well Integrity, including its design, verification, and intervention. Individuals who may be mandated to do this training include: Completion Engineers, Well Services Engineers, Well Integrity Management Engineers, Drilling, and Well Intervention Engineers (including Drilling Supervisors and Drilling Superintendents), Production Technologists, and Production Operations Personnel (including Offshore Installation Managers and Area Production Supervisors), as well as Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) personnel.

The course is delivered through an integrated blend of expert-led instruction, real-world case studies, and facilitated technical discussion to connect standards with operational reality. Learning is reinforced through structured workshops, decision-based exercises, and lifecycle case reviews that mirror real integrity challenges. Participants actively apply concepts using diagnostic workflows, design reviews, and governance scenarios to build practical, defensible decision-making capability.
