Wellhead Integrity Management System is an integrated procedure that employs a multidisciplinary approach and real-time intelligence to reduce the risk and cost of well integrity intervention.

In this four-day course, the complexities and necessity of well integrity maintenance throughout their life cycle are discussed and demonstrated. It addresses the fundamentals of well design, monitoring, and evaluation, as well as well barrier hazards, integrity testing, and management. This course explores the concepts of well integrity management and how to implement them throughout the well’s lifecycle using a holistic, multi-disciplinary, and integrated management approach.

Certification Program Objectives: 

• Document well design, construction, surveillance, and well integrity for a “life-of-well” approach.
• Examine the influence of industry standards and guidelines on the construction, monitoring, and management of barriers.
