Day 1:

• Basic Well control refresh
• Geology, kill methods, MASP and MAASP
• Understanding of Well Operating Envelope (WOE)
• Well barrier definition, barrier elements, barrier qualification and verification
• WellPlan Exercises – Well File Build-up with all inventory entries

Day 2:

• Well integrity verification
• Verification assurance methods, Positive and negative tests, log verification
• Cementation and integrity
• WellPlan Exercise – Well Control module – Influx volume estimation

Day 3:

• Cement as a barrier – contd.
• Pipe centralization, gas flow potential, wellbore stability and cement integrity, deterioration of barriers
• Kick tolerance, parameters influencing kick tolerance, well design implications
• WellPlan Exercise – Well Control Module – Kick Tolerance Analysis

Day 4:

• HPHT well design challenges: narrow operating window, complex issues like well bore breathing
• Metallurgy material selection
• Corrosive environments and barrier envelope
• Pressure and thermal cycles (dynamic loading)
• Cracking/failure mechanisms
• Life cycle integrity aspects

Day 5:

• Shallow gas risks, design philosophies to manage risk to ALARP
• Tertiary well control techniques including relief well design
• Post assessment, feedback and certificates

Participants will need to have a solid foundation within well engineering principles, well design, equipment and operational procedures at a senior level.
