Lifecycle Well Integrity

Well integrity is an important element to be considered in respect to managing risk of losing containment and exposure people and environment to these risks during all sort of well activities and in particular interventions.

Hence the important questions to be answered by the operator and its staff are:
- Will the well be safe over its entire life?
- What is necessary to guarantee this?
Everything should fit together, from planning to execution by applying technical, operational and organisational solutions to reduce the risk of an uncontrolled release of formation fluids throughout the life cycle of a well. The entire process must be clear, understood and fully supported by the process owner.

Based on their experience, the trainers will give the participants a clear picture what is involved in establishing and maintaining Well Integrity. Covering various facets of well integrity, such accountability/responsibility, well operating processes, well service processes, tubing/annulus integrity, tree/wellhead integrity and testing of safety systems. The participants will be stimulated to actively participate and bring examples and questions from their daily work.
This course will deal with the lifecycle of the well which involves the following items in understanding and “working” with Well Integrity:
- What is well integrity
- How is well integrity established
- How is well integrity maintained
- What is at stake when well integrity is lost
- How to rectify ‘poor’ well integrity
This course is for all professionals working in the oil & gas industry, who are dealing with wells. But is specially recommended for:
- Well and Drilling engineers
- Completion and Production engineers
- Well Maintenance and Intervention engineers and specialists
The course is split in several smaller modules following the wells lifecycle:
Module 1: Well Integrity during the drilling phase
Elements effecting and contributing to it:
Module 2: Well Integrity during production
Elements effecting and contributing to it:
Module 3: Well Integrity during maintenance and repair
Elements effecting and contributing to it:
Module 4: Well Integrity during abandonment phase
Elements effecting and contributing to it:
The objectives and modules of the training course “Lifecycle Well Integrity” are directly linked to the Competence Assurance Programme (CAP) as developed by SOGOS Academy. Skills are selected from the SOGOS Academy skills library and these are translated into the training course curriculum. This approach ensures that this training event will demonstrable contribute to the competence of course participants.

The management framework CAP ensures competence of all employees through:
- the use of a unique set of skills standard to the oil & gas industry
- a common language for skills and competence
- the use of development/job profiles for each employee
- fit-for-purpose training targets
- a control mechanism to measure state of competence
For this course the following links with the skills in CAP are identified:
- Module: Well Integrity during the drilling phase
- Module: Well Integrity during production
- Module: Well Integrity during maintenance and repair
- Module: Well Integrity during abandonment phase

About the trainer: Antoon Oonk

Some 35 years plus of experience with Shell International. Antoon started his career with Shell as a marine engineer and after a number of years he switched to Shell E&P and worked in Europe, the Middle East and the Far East since 1980. During these years he gained extensive experience in both surface as well as subsurface production operations, and as well on as offshore.

Though his main expertise lies within the subsurface production operations era; like well interventions (the broader picture), completions, exploration well testing, production enhancements etc.

Since a number of years he regularly teaches on these subjects at some Shell International Learning & Development courses and as such is also actively involved with skills training in Shell’s online environment, for young production and well intervention engineers.
