Well and asset integrity are critical components in the lifecycle management of oil and gas operations, ensuring the safe, efficient, and sustainable extraction of resources. This session discusses the principles and practices that underpin well and asset integrity, emphasizing the importance of risk management, regulatory compliance, and technological advancements. Well integrity focuses on the containment of fluids within a wellbore system, requiring robust design, construction, and monitoring protocols to prevent leaks and environmental contamination. Asset integrity, on the other hand, involves the holistic management of physical assets, ensuring they perform their intended function throughout their lifecycle while minimizing hazards to personnel and the environment.

We explore the integration of advanced monitoring technologies, such as real-time data analytics and predictive modeling, which enhance the detection of anomalies and facilitate timely interventions. Additionally, we address the impact of aging infrastructures, maintenance strategies, and the role of an integrity management system in optimizing asset performance. Case studies illustrate successful implementations of integrity management practices that have led to increased operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced safety outcomes. Ultimately, this session advocates for a proactive approach to well and asset integrity, aligning organizational goals with industry best practices to foster a culture of safety and sustainability in the petroleum sector.

The oil and gas industry spends billions annually dealing with unwanted water production. This includes costs for separating, treating, and disposing of produced water, as well as potential impacts on well performance and lifespan. Water production poses significant challenges in oil and gas operations, leading to reduced hydrocarbon recovery, increased operational costs, and environmental concerns. Effective Water Zone Shutoff (WZO) strategies are essential for managing water inflow, improving reservoir performance, and extending well lifespan. This in-depth workshop will explore the latest techniques and technologies for identifying, diagnosing, and implementing water shutoff solutions in conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

Sand production defines as the flow of formation solids into the wellbore along with the formation fluid. It is a common problem in the oil and gas industry, particularly in brown field developments. Sand production causes several issues, including a reduction in hydrocarbon recovery efficiency due to sand plugging in the reservoir, and damage to the production system from downhole equipment to surface equipment. This damage increases operational costs due to frequent maintenance and results in significant production loss.  Additionally, sand erosion increases the risk of fluid leaks or, even worse, spills, which compromise personnel safety and have environmental impacts. An effective sand management process is critical for maintaining well integrity and operational safety, optimizing production, and minimizing operational costs.

This workshop session will explore the topics below but not limit to:

• Sand Control Techniques And Best Practices (including sand control failure remediation/retrofit sand control)
