1. Well Integrity Training:

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

• Define the building blocks of a successful well integrity management system
• Develop an approach to risk management, understand risk analysis and methods applied across the industry
• How do we “Make Wells Safer”, learn about emerging technologies for well integrity problem diagnosis and new techniques available to “repair” the issues
• Execute the basic elements of well integrity management training for field operators
• Evaluate well design elements that enhance or hinder well integrity status definition during the operating phase of the well life-cycle
• Gain the demonstrable benefits of well integrity management from field experience
• Review cases studies and discuss them to enhance knowledge and take on board lessons learned

2. Advanced Well Integrity:

• Define well integrity well categorization based on compliance to the barrier policy outlined in the regulations and develop an approach to risk management
• Discuss well-completion design and construction to create a “integer” well with the lowest life cycle maintenance cost from a WIM perspective
• Monitoring and surveillance of well integrity, focusing on barrier competence such as cementing and corrosion
• Investigate and manage well integrity issues, causes & potential solutions
• Understand repairs needed to address “Loss of Well Operating Envelope”
• Gain an overview understanding of Well Suspension & Well Abandonment
• Discuss further case studies as well as conduct a post course test

Invaluable for production, operations, and integrity professionals involved in implementing & managing well integrity and seeking to improve performance. It is also essential for those who need to develop and implement such systems, or who have a general need to know and understand more about well integrity management. The course will also provide a fresh approach for senior professionals and managers. Designed for professionals in the oil and gas industry who are involved in the design, construction and operation of wells from the following disciplines:

• Production Maintenance
• Production Operations
• Drilling Engineering
• Safety engineering
• Well Intervention
• Well Integrity Engineering
• Asset Management

• Intermediate
• Advanced

Gordon Duncan has over 40 years of experience in the Oil & Gas industry. During that time, he has worked exclusively in well intervention and completions. After a number of years working for intervention service companies (completions, slickline & workovers), he joined Shell as a well service supervisor. He was responsible for the day-to-day supervision of all well intervention work on Shell’s Persian/Arabian Gulf platforms. This included completion running, coil tubing, e-line, slickline, hydraulic workovers, well testing and stimulation operations. An office-based role as a senior well engineer followed.

He was responsible for planning, programming and organising of all the well engineering and intervention work on a number of fields in the Middle East. He had a brief spell as a Site Representative for Santos in Australia before joining Petro-Canada as Completions Superintendent in Syria, then moved to Australia as Completions Operations Superintendent for Santos, before returning to Shell as Field Supervisor Completions and Well Interventions in Iraq where he carried out the first ever formal abandonment of a well in the Majnoon Field. While working on rotation, he regularly taught Completion Practices, Well Intervention, Well Integrity and Reporting & Planning courses all over the world. In 2014, he started to focus 100% on training and became the Technical Director for PetroEDGE.

Since commencing delivering training courses in 2008, he has taught over 300 courses in 31 cities in 16 countries to in excess of 3,500 participants.
