Course Content
This course offers a comprehensive look at well abandonment, covering temporary and permanent methods, risks, verification, and regulations. Day one introduces key objectives, human factors, and well barrier principles, ensuring safe and compliant abandonment. Day two focuses on challenges like aging stock, corrosion, erosion, and well integrity, alongside equipment needs, legislation, and environmental impact. A case study at the end allows participants to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.

Principles of Well Abandonment
Understanding when, why, and how wells are abandoned.
Human Factors
Examining decision-making, operations, and safety in abandonment.
Abandonment Methods
Comparing temporary vs. permanent approaches, risks, and verification.
Challenges in Abandonment
Addressing aging stock, corrosion, erosion, and annular pressure.
Training in Action: Real-life Plug and Abandon Scenarios
Here’s how the Plug and Abandon training prepares teams for effective well decommissioning:
-
A well engineer uses the course’s barrier design framework to develop a compliant P&A plan for a depleted North Sea well.
-
After identifying annular pressure during abandonment, a team applies root cause analysis tools learned in the course to resolve integrity concerns and secure the well.
These scenarios demonstrate how P&A training equips professionals to manage decommissioning with precision and compliance.
