About
This awareness-level course provides multidisciplinary (non-well-integrity) engineers with an awareness-level understanding of well-integrity principles throughout the well lifecycle. Participants gain foundational exposure to regulatory frameworks, well construction and barrier design, completion engineering, well operations, common failure scenarios, and lessons learned. The course prepares engineers to engage in well integrity activities under supervision while strengthening their ability to identify risks, communicate issues, and support safe well operations.
Target Audience
Designed for multidisciplinary teams—including drilling, completions, production, and intervention professionals—who need a common language and awareness of how their decisions and actions influence well integrity across the lifecycle
You Will Learn
- Define well integrity using industry-recognized frameworks and explain its purpose
- Explain the consequences of well integrity failure and its impact on safety, environment, and business performance
- Describe the well lifecycle and how each phase contributes to maintaining well integrity
- Explain how multidisciplinary inputs and decisions influence well design and long-term integrity
- Recognize how design and construction choices can introduce or mitigate well integrity risks
- Describe how well integrity is monitored and managed during operations, including common indicators of potential issues
- Explain how integrity risks are assessed and addressed during intervention, including key limitations and trade-offs
- Describe the transition to abandonment, including the shift from managing risk to eliminating it and the importance of barrier verification
