Session 5: Surveillance & Monitoring
Chairs: Lonny Jacobson, University of North Dakota, EERC; Hugo Costeno, SLB
Despite the best well design practices and material selection, factors such as long-term exposure, equipment limits, changes in the operating environment, installation deficiencies, or other issues can lead to fluid leaks through wellbores. This session will cover surveillance and monitoring techniques, procedures, and tools to proactively identify potential or existing wellbore leaks, enabling early corrective actions to prevent or mitigate their effects.
