About the course
Course content
It starts with the construction of the well and its barriers; the open hole, casing, cement and the preventers; and the completed well, the tubing and the wellhead: The pressure boundary conditions of a well. Leak detection / handling during drilling (kick / killing) and during production (sustained casing pressure). With this background, we present independent, technical barriers with associated well integrity schematics. Risk assessment and associated management systems finalize the course.
