Description

• Revisit the importance of well heads and X-mas trees and to analyse all the problems that may affect well head and X-mas trees integrity and well integrity as a whole
• Understand how critical good cementations are to avoid future well heads and well integrity problems
• Understand SAP pressures, their origin and their impact on safety and well life cycle

Designed for you, if you are...

• A field services or operations foreman
• A petroleum or production engineer
• A drilling or completion engineer
• Oil field technical staff

How we build your confidence

• Discussing and analysing how well heads and Xmas trees have a major role in achieving well integrity
• Correlation between best practices for well construction and well heads integrity, and how they can affect safety and well production issues
• Focus on SAP pressures registered at well heads, their causes and mitigation
• Videos , exercises and case studies will be presented

The benefits from attending

• Develop the knowledge relationship between surface (well heads) and downhole
• Investigate leaks and identify the cause of leaks
• Determine tubing pressures (based on depth of perfs, density of fluid and BHFP)
• Investigate SAP pressures based on well pressure monitoring using 2 and 3 pen recorders
• Explain influence of corrosion models on MAASP pressures and on Well Life Cycle
