Well Integrity Management

Well Integrity Management is newsworthy!

18% of the production

and injection wells suffered
from some form of weakened
integrity. Seven percent of
these wells were shut down
as a result of the problem

How Well Integrity is typically managed: A familiar scenario?

1 Manual effort to collate data from multiple sources

Record Identify and record anomaly details,
Anomaly classification 2
Repetitive entry of key data for processing: header, design

3
Data quality across systems not cross referenced
Collate Well history, equipment, design, Well
Data work, pressure production, etc. 4
Inadequacy of data in various systems

5
Use data to calculate MOASP vs. design, Lack of standard processes / roles leading to inconsistency
Analyze
assess anomalies, history, production vs. 6
Data capability Missing / over lapping accountability

7
Evaluate and Risk classification / management is subjective, inconsistent
Risk classification, prioritization, decision
Manage on next steps 8
Risks Manual tracking / operations to take risk mitigation action

9
Unclear picture of the overall WI health for the leadership
Take Track Wellwork / other action to be done,
Remedial notify, report 10
Significant manual effort for reporting, calculations, recording

Increased emphasis on safety is causing companies move
towards the right side of the continuum

“Chaotic” “Aware” “Evolving” “Mature”

 Shared Well Integrity function
 Reactive approach / Accountability
not clear defined
 Introduction of objectivity
 Multiple data Repositories
 Manual gathering of data
 Well Integrity processes defined
 Dedicated Well Integrity organization
 Custom developed system focused
on particular aspect of Well Integrity
(e.g. anomaly database)
 Partial integration among related
applications
 Users refer multiple systems for
analysis
 Process driven end to end Well
Integrity Management System (WIMS)
 Evolved risk management
 Well Integrity process integrated with
Well workover process
 Analytics & Value realization
 All key data sources integrated with
WIMS

A staged approach towards addressing various facets of WI will help us progress towards maturity

help the progression

User should focus on data analysis instead of data collation

Data Consolidation Data Quality
• Identify the data sources
• Cross references
• Automate data
consolidation
• Prioritize

• Assessment
• Improvement
• Ongoing model for DQ
• DQ value

Streamlining Data inputs

BENEFITS
• Avoid duplication
• Standard Taxonomy for
Anomaly classification • Consistency
• Minimize free text entry • Data Quality
• Tag images at an anomaly • User Confidence
level

BENEFITS
• Accountabilities
• Ability to measure
KPIs
Risk Identification Risk Assessment Risk Mitigation
• Standards
• Tracking to closure
Roles and responsibilities defined by RACI Matrix

Through better visualization, we can
still open?

• get more understanding and uncover new insights

• prioritize work better How are my

high producing
• improve efficiency
wells doing?
• get leadership attention and buy-in
