Wellbarrier training courses are designed for users to learn about well integrity fundamentals and to become proficient in using the Wellbarrier solution. All courses are conducted in a remote or in-person classroom setting where we combine theory with practical problem-solving.
Well barrier principles and drawing application
This training course provides participants with an understanding of the fundamental principles of the Wellbarrier solution—participants will learn how to prepare consistent well barrier schematics. Following the course completion, participants will be able to create well barrier schematics from a template, or from scratch. Participants will learn the fundamentals of drawing and establishing appropriate well barrier envelopes for common well activity situations.
To successfully create well barrier illustrations, the user must first acquire a fundamental understanding of how to define and implement well barriers, both for primary and secondary well barrier definitions. The principles used are based on the Norsok D-010 independent two-barrier principle, but they will also be applicable to users who do not subscribe to this principle.
WB2 - Well Integrity in the Well Lifecycle for Drilling and Well Engineers
Participants will be given a thorough understanding of creating well integrity measures throughout the well life cycle. Following completion of the course the participant will be able to define and prepare barrier elements and envelopes. The course gives an in-depth introduction to well integrity fundamentals.
The specific requirements and equipment involved in setting up appropriate well integrity arrangements in the well’s design phase will be demonstrated to address different operational activities. Drilling, completion, production, intervention, and P&A will be covered in detail. On request, a Wellbarrier solution demonstration can be added to the schedule. The participants will be shown real-world examples of well incidents and case studies and work together to understand how accidents could have been avoided if good well integrity management practices had been observed.
WB3 - Well Integrity for Production Personnel
This course provides participants with an understanding of well integrity management. Following the course, participants will be able to understand the well architecture and take necessary initial steps to monitor barrier elements and envelopes, as well as mitigating the associated risks. The course introduces the requirements for good well integrity management. An in-depth introduction is given on how wells are constructed, as well as best practices for creating high quality barrier illustrations. The course covers the parameters and methods used to qualify and monitor well integrity throughout the life cycle of the well, as well as how anomalies are risk-assessed to ensure that any vulnerabilities are mitigated. The participants will be shown examples and case studies based on real-world incidents and work together to understand how accidents could have been avoided if good well integrity management practices had been observed.
This is a half day course for Wellbarrier users who want to enhance their Wellbarrier software knowledge. The participants will be divided into groups of 5 (maximum) and will prepare schematics based on their area of expertise. The participants should have a basic knowledge of the Wellbarrier software, two-barrier philosophy and well integrity.
