Well Integrity Technologies (PRE17)
18-21 February 2019 4 days Vienna, AustriaCourse Fee: 2850 EUR + VAT
Description
This course covers the main aspects of Well Integrity, starting with the construction of the well. Keeping the well operation within the safety envelope is critical for any oil & gas operator (well integrity).
Well integrity technologies are focusing on monitoring problematic wells, diagnosing the causes of those problems, and implementing techniques to mitigate and/or repair those problems in order to keep the wells operating safely and avoid release of hydrocarbons to environment.
