Well Integrity (WI) during the well life focuses on the continued good health of the well to ensure continued production/injection while at the same time mitigating risks of uncontrolled flow of formation fluids to the surface or to other sub-surface permeable zones. From the regulatory point of view, WI is also an essential requirement in the operation of the well, and especially critical for plug and abandonment.
 Wells with WI issues may require immediate attention, with accurate and reliable diagnosis and follow-up remediation as they may lead to catastrophic risks, and/or delayed or stopped production. Well Integrity, barriers, and monitoring and/or evaluations are expected to be discussed in this session.
