Session 5: Risk Assessment and Management (RA/QRA)
Explore a range of approaches for RA/QRA with brief presentations and an interactive panel discussion. Themes may include:
• Methodologies for well integrity risk assessment, with pros and cons.
• What managers want and what well integrity engineers need from risk management - balancing well safety with production.
• Why some operators chose QRA for well integrity and blowout risk assessment.
• Concepts and systems used for critical rig operations risk management.
• Using RA for resource optimisation, focussing on safety, economics and portfolio risk.
• The role of company boards, operations and regulators. Common failures in WIRA and ideas to tackle that.
• Working with regulators with inconsistent views of risk.
• The importance of good data for critical components and applications, and what can be done when data isn’t perfect.
• Project case studies – examples of good RA leading to better decisions and valuable outcomes.
