Many assets across the globe tend to stay in production beyond the initial design life of typically 20-25 years. Lately it has become evident that extending the production life need attention from a well integrity point of view. To demonstrate that we have the necessary integrity for another x number of years ahead, careful assessments of the defined well barrier elements must be conducted. But not only the well barrier elements are of importance - later experiences shows that also the parts of the wells that constitutes the structural integrity need to be assessed. In this session we will hear and discuss experiences and how different operators handle the life extension work and from a regulators point of view.
