This training program is an extensive and dynamic one (1) day course that covers the understanding of the integrity gap between reservoir, downhole and surface facilities.

Detailed Course Description

The course is geared to provide the knowledge on the fundamentals of implementing a corrosion and an integrity program as part of the strategy to protect fast track and existing downhole installations and surface facilities. It is a mid-level course focusing on the following:

Understanding Fluid Behavior.

Identifying the corrosion mechanisms most likely to occur on the subsurface and surface installations.
o Presence of CO2, H2S, Cl, or O2
o Flow rates
o Flow Patterns

Reservoir Characterization Principles

How reservoir characteristics and management have to be integrated into the overall mechanical integrity management system of the installations and its flow assurance.
