Course Objective

Following this course, participants will understand the need to fully comprehend that MAASP, MAWOP and/or MOP require calculation, monitoring, verification and recalculation. Extra consideration needs to be given in relation to material degradation and the number of operating cycles the well has gone through.

Course Content

MODULE 1 – Overview

MAASP, MAWOP, MOP
International standards (ISO, API)
Sources of annulus pressure

MODULE 2 – Determining the Limits

Planned preventative maintenance & testing
Well failure model
Management of change

MODULE 3 – Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP)

Managing, monitoring and understanding
Causes, evaluation
Solutions – intrusive vs non-intrusive

Audience

Invaluable for production, operations, and integrity professionals involved in implementing & managing well integrity and seeking to improve performance. It is also essential for those who need to develop and implement such systems, or who require an understanding of well integrity management.
