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.

This micro VILT will also provide a fresh approach for senior professionals and managers. Designed for professionals in the oil and gas industry who are involved in the design, construction and operation of wells from the following disciplines:

Production maintenance
Production operations
Drilling engineering
Safety engineering
Well intervention
Well integrity engineering
Asset management

Prerequisite

A basic understanding of drilling and completion principles and some industry exposures are desirable for participants before enrolling in this course. However, this course can be adapted to meet the needs of all attendees.
