By Manish Srivastava The future is very promising for Well Integrity Engineers. With the scope of projects increasing as we continue to progress as ‘bridging’ agents into ‘new energy’ integrity world in the energy transition. Oil and gas will continue to remain pertinent and the skills...
By Ainur Kaken Over the last few years, the well integrity discipline experience has seen a massive decline, with experts retiring and leaving the industry. At the same time, digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) have rapidly evolved to become a strategic opportunity for our...
By Valerie Wilson With the growing focus on carbon management and Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), companies are evaluating mature oil fields, around the world, for their potential for CCS projects. During these evaluations it will be important to keep in mind that mature oil and gas...
By Scott Myers Like oil and gas wells, geothermal wells are designed around the life of the well with the goals of containment of well pressure, and prevention of uncontrolled flow of reservoir fluids to the environment or groundwater. Monitoring, inspection and maintenance programs are...
By Matteo Loizzo Plug and Abandonment is the last step in a well’s life cycle. When the structure is decommissioned, incremented tubulars are recovered, and steel is cut below the ground (or seabed) level. Then the site is restored. Initially, the goal of P&A was to prevent draining or...
By Dan Dall'Acqua Casing deformations in multistage hydraulically fractured horizontal oil and gas wells have been the subject of considerable work in recent years. Such deformations generally manifest as downhole wellbore access issues that can lead to lost efficiencies during well...
