About this Micro Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) 

Ninety-eight percent of a well’s life is spent either producing fluids or having fluids injected through the Completion Conduit. To ensure that the well is operated within certain parameters and appropriate safety factors are applied, understanding the sources or causes of the various annuli pressures is paramount.

Following this Micro VILT, participants will understand the need to fully understand that MAASP and/or MAWOP and/or MOP require to be calculated, monitored, verified and recalculated, taking into account material degradation as well as the number of operating cycles the well has gone through.

This module on Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP) – or as I prefer to refer to as UNEXPLAINED pressure – has been designed to give participants a basic understanding of the early warning message the well sends as well as some of the existing solutions to allow the management to consider the removal of the SCP. These solutions can be intrusive vs non-intrusive depending on the ability to access the areas of concerns.

Breakdown of Modules:

Module 1: Overview

1. MAASP, MAWOP, MOP
2. International Standards (ISO, API)
3. Sources of Annulus Pressure

Module 2: Determining the Limits

1. Initial Calculations, Operating Envelope
2. Safety Factors, Degradation, Verification
3. Recalculations, Investigative Solutions

Module 3: Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP)

1. Managing, monitoring, understanding
2. Causes, evaluation
3. Solutions – intrusive v non-intrusive

Best Feature of the Micro VILT:

1. The presentation.
2. The competence of the instructor.
3. Able to ask questions.
4. Excellent visual presentation and communication with instructor.
5. The virtual presentation is much preferred over having to travel to a training site!
6. Being able to train from home.
7. Hands-on experience from the trainer that further described what was actually occurring or that could occur in a downhole .
8. The group collaboration.
9. Discussions and the pressure gradient charts that illustrate the effects and pathways for pressure. Too many don’t lend concern for the lower end of the ‘typical’ pressure ranges, which were intended to simplify procurement. From a safety perspective, it does not take much pressure to kill.
