COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of well integrity - cased hole logging and monitoring. It covers the problems causing well integrity, depth control in cased hole and well head pressure control; the leak detection tools, spontaneous potential electro-kinetic anomalies and borehole spinner; the primary cementing and squeeze cementing; the cement evaluation tools, cement quality effects on initiation corrosion and on the rate of corrosion; the various corrosion mechanisms; the factors that initiates and propagates the various corrosion mechanisms; and the corrosion monitoring, flux leakage tools and electric current leakage tool. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the cathodic protection and perforation; the temperature logging tools and their applications under shut-in and flowing conditions; the permanent fibre optics temperature sensors, theory and applications and uneven depletion and resulting crossflow; the basic production logging, spinner calibrations and using 2 chokes to estimate productivity index; the productivity index (pi) and reservoir pressure (pr) for each zone; and the as well as inter-zone crossflow caused by uneven depletion and water and gas coning.
