Well test analysis has been used for many years to assess well condition and obtain reservoir parameters. With the introduction of pressure-derivative analysis and the development of complex interpretation models that are able to account for detailed geological features, well test analysis has become a very powerful tool for reservoir characterization.
The lifecycle of developed fields, onshore and offshore will go through different stages of production up to the decline into late field life. Effective reservoir engineering management will lead to prolonging the life of field if a cost effective processing surface facilities strategy is put in place. Factors that lead to the decline in oil production or increase in OPEX may include increased water production, solids handling and the need for relatively higher compression requirements for gas lift. In order to maintain productivity and profitability, an effective holistic engineering approach to optimizing the process surface facilities must be utilized. The challenges of Optimizing Mature Field Production are: 1. Reservoir understanding with potential definition of additional reserves 2. Complete re-appraisal of the operability issues in the production facilities 3. Develop confidence to invest to optimize the process handling capabilities and capacity 4. Low CAPEX simplification of the surface facilities infrastructure to meet challenges 5. An implementation plan that recognizes the ‘Brownfield’ complexities 6. Selection of suitable optimum technology, configuration and training 7. Optimum upgrade plan of the facilities with minimum production losses Successful operation of mature fields and their surface facilities requires successful change management to the new operating strategy. Using a holistic approach can maximize the full potential of mature processing facilities at a manageable CAPEX and OPEX.
Dr. Wally Georgie Dr. Wally Georgie has a B.Sc degree in Chemistry, M.Sc in Polymer Technology, M.Sc in Safety Engineering and PhD in Applied Chemistry with training courses in oil and gas process engineering, production, reservoir and corrosion engineering. He has worked for over 37 years in different areas of oil and gas production facilities, including corrosion control, flow assurance, fluid separation, separator design, gas handling and produced water. He started his career in oil and gas services sector in 1978 based in the UK and working globally with different production issues then joined Statoil as senior staff engineer and later as technical advisor in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. Working as part of operation team on oil and gas production facilities key focus areas included optimization, operation trouble-shooting, de-bottlenecking, oil water separation, slug handling, process verification, and myriad other fluid and gas handling issues. He then started working in March 1999 as a consultant globally both offshore and onshore, conventional and unconventional in the area of separation trouble shooting, operation assurance, produced water management, gas handling problems, flow assurance, system integrities and production chemistry, with emphasis in dealing with mature facilities worldwide.
Reservoir engineers cannot capture full value from waterflood projects on their own. Cross-functional participation from earth sciences, production, drilling, completions, and facility engineering, and operational groups is required to get full value from waterfloods. Waterflood design and operational case histories of cross-functional collaboration are provided that have improved life cycle costs and increased recovery for onshore and offshore waterfloods. The role that water quality, surveillance, reservoir processing rates, and layered reservoir management has on waterflood oil recovery and life cycle costs will be clarified. Techniques to get better performance out of your waterflood will be shared.

-Rig up and rig down SWT equipment on field, such as Flow Head, Choke manifold, heat Exchanger, Separator, Surge Tank, Compressor, Electric Centrifugal Pump, Flare/Burner Boom, etc
-Running/execute the equipment during the job
-Help the Supervisor to solving if there any problems/troubles during the job.
-Perform some paperwork during the job such as PTW (Permit To Work), JSA (Job Safety Analysis), Tool Box Talk, and sometimes doing reporting of data acquisition.
-Assist the Well test Eng at Sarulla Geothermal Project in North Sumatera to ensure, monitoring and controlling the project runs smoothly and safe in accordance with applicable procedure.
Oil and gas are essential parts of a sustainable future. Though these are finite energy resources and sources of greenhouse gas emissions, the world continues to require their production. For this reason, it is imperative that we consider improved industry practices.
To begin, the audience will be presented with the most basic principles of sustainability pertaining to oil and gas operations, including SPE’s position on this matter. When oil is discovered at a location, decisions and guarantees cannot be made without considering the project’s life cycle. Our commitments must be demonstrated consistently along each stage of a project in direct consideration of a sustainable future.
Next, several case studies relating to sustainability, integrating the realities of the social license to operate and operations will be presented to the audience, detailing the required steps for the successful execution of any project facing challenging conditions.
The presentation will conclude by underlining that the inclusion of internal and external stakeholders will only enrich the project and, therefore, pave the road to success. It is our responsibility to create a culture of operational professionalism and reliability through active participation. In order to counterbalance the world’s energy demand, we must produce oil and gas while considering that the more efficiently the energy is produced, the more affordable the energy will be. The oil industry is not only committed to its own sustainability but also to the sustainability of our planet.
This 5 day training course is designed to give you a comprehensive account of methods and techniques used in modern well testing and analysis. Subsequently to outlining well test objectives and general methodologies applied, the course will provide real case studies and practice using modern software for Pressure Transient Analysis.

This 5 day training course reviews the fundamentals of Casing Design and builds on them to address well design challenges associated with deep, extended reach, HPHT and
deepwater wells.
Participants will review the theories of both uniaxial and triaxial pipe strength as per API Bulletin 5C3 and ISO/TR 10400, the implications of manufacturing standards and tolerances as per API Specification 5CT and the impact of downhole environmental conditions.
Workover Optimization & Horizontal Well Intervention 2014LBCG
With unconventional wells typically depleting 65-85% in the first year and another 20% in the subsequent years, there is a growing impetus to optimize and innovate workover and well intervention operations to improve the life of existing wells and restore production to maximize the recovery of costly unconventional wells.
Innovations in coiled tubing, conveyance, eline and logging tools and the introduction of techniques for re-completions may ensure that depleting wells can be recovered and production maximized but such operations are not without significant cost implications and technical challenges. Unpredictable complications throughout production including damaged casing, blocked perforations and broken and lost equipment downhole incur great risk, come at a high cost to repair and can, of course, result in complete failure of the well. Additionally, the economic viability of re-completions operations is still relatively unknown and the technical challenges of re-fracturing are complex.
Operators therefore need to carefully consider the economic gamble in repairing a depleting well or potential in-fill drilling operations against the cost of drilling a new well. A balance must be struck between optimizing the cost and speed of workovers and remedial well intervention, while increasing the long-term effectiveness and safety of operations to reduce the economic risk of repairing wellbores and adequately extend the production time between workovers.
The Workover Optimization & Horizontal Well Intervention 2014 is the only E&P led forum to provide technical talks and case study based strategies on effective optimization and cost reduction of both workovers and remedial well interventions. Senior E&P presenters will examine techniques for optimizing plug drillouts, cleanouts, coiled tubing interventions, casing repairs and fishing and evaluate how to enable re-completions in depleting wells. The content of the detailed two-day agenda has been created entirely by workover and intervention professional across American unconventional oil and gas operators.
Course Description
The business of fuelling the world through hydrocarbon production must be carried out with optimum profitability. Participants will learn how sand production and inadvertent formation damage can erode these profits. Methods and procedures will be presented to guide the participants in decision making with regard to completing a well with optimum control of formation sand while incurring minimal damage to the well or production zone. Extensive theory will be presented illustrating why certain practices should either be employed or strictly avoided. The very latest in the use of forecasting methods, tools, techniques, and personal experiences will be presented.
By attending the 5 day training course, you will be able to:
Assess how rock will fail and how this analysis is used to determine the appropriate sand control method.
Interpret particle size distribution data.
Determine the appropriate sand control method when provided with appropriate reservoir and production data.
Select completion equipment and associated tooling for sand control (screens, gravels, work strings, barrier valves etc.)
Produce an outline installation procedure for the main types of sand control.
Troubleshoot sand control problems.
This course examines the difficulties, challenges and problems facing today’s deepwater drilling programme designers and personnel where wells are being drilled in increasingly difficult downhole and environmental conditions with ever increasing cost and legislation further contributing to design and operational pressures.
Subsea pipelines are the arteries of the offshore industry, and around the world more than 18,000km are in service. Part of almost every project, they often form a large component of project cost. This course will provide a complete and up-to-date overview of the area of Subsea Pipeline Engineering, taking delegates through the pre-design phase, design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance.
It will give a complete picture of the work of design engineers and pipeline construction companies, using actual case studies from around the world to highlight the topics discussed. While the course requires no previous experience, this is not a superficial overview. The lecturers bring to the course a long experience of industry projects, in many parts of the world and under varied conditions. The technology is far from being static, and the trainers will discuss new developments and ideas for the future.
This course has been written for Operators, Drilling Contractors and Service personnel who require an in-depth detailed understanding of the causes of stuck pipe (which includes drill pipe, BHA’s, casing, liners and logging tools) and how sticking can be prevented.
This course examines different deepwater depositional systems and considers how deepwater process, topography and sediment supply impact on these systems. The course examines analogue data from turbidite reservoirs and modern turbidite systems. Depositional settings and sequences associated with clastic deepwater systems are reviewed, along with the geological controls on reservoir quality and architecture. It also examines post-depositional process that can have a major impact on reservoir quality and architecture, and considers this within the context of the petroleum system.
API 570 Piping and Pipeline Inspectors Preparatory CoursepetroEDGE
This program is designed for in depth understanding of Inspection of piping and pipelines under operation and in-service as per API 570. This preparatory course will prepare inspectors to ensure piping and pipeline integrity in service. Practical aspect of design considerations, sizing, rating, piping and pipeline integrity, internal inspections, analysis, repair, pressure testing, and pipeline protection shall be discussed. The program shall also provide more information about types of piping system defects which may crop in during operation, repairs, maintenance and alteration. This will lead the participants to prepare them for ensuring good quality and safety of operating piping and pipelines so that they are safe in operations and ensure preventing any incident.
The oil & gas industry has had a volatile ride for the last decade. Oil prices have been fluctuating between $30 and $130/bbl and with Shale oil appearing as a serious competitor and LNG positioning itself more as the transitionary fuel of the future. Of course we never knew what we do not know but it seems to be getting more unclear what the future holds, especially for the oil & gas industry. Uncertainty seems to rule, and turbulence of our business environment seems to be reaching a new tipping point year after year, and the end of common strategic planning is in sight.
Distributed Control System (DCS) Applications, Selection & TroubleshootingpetroEDGE
Since the first Distributed Control System was installed in the late 1970’s, the concept of DCS has swept alternative control technologies from the field. The substantial growth, in the construction of plants in the traditional heavy process industries, such as power generation, refining, oil and gas, water and petrochemicals, is driving significant growth in the utilization of DCS. The broad architecture of a solution involves either a direct connection to physical equipment, such as switches, pumps and valves or connection via a fieldbus communication system.
This course will familiarize engineers, designers and construction personnel with the layout and design procedures and practices involved in the choice of piping systems and their associated supporting equipment. It will also address in detail, common pipeline components such as pumps, compressors and heat exchangers and will cover their mechanical performance and limitations in different piping arrangements. This course will give participants the background required to complete and successfully apply typical equipment layout and piping arrangements.
Advanced Heat Exchanger Design, Inspection and TroubleshootingpetroEDGE
The design, performance and operation of modern heat exchangers requires an understanding of the principles of heat transfer and fluid flow, coupled with access to numerically based techniques and supporting data. This course will review heat transfer fundamentals as applied to tubular and plate devices.
Liquid & Gas Flowmetering & Custody MeasurementpetroEDGE
This course will familiarize process, instrumentation and custody transfer engineers with the procedures and practices involved in the choice of flowmetering systems and their associated supporting equipment. It will address these points in relation to both single- and multi-phase flows and will give guidance on the optimum commercially available flowmeters through a detailed comparison of their relative merits. Flowmeter calibration is crucial to these topics.
The course also covers the related issues of level and tank measurement as well as lease automatic custody transfer and truck custody transfer, leak detection, loss control and monitor and control production losses.
This intensive five-day course is designed to provide participants with a thorough knowledge of downhole sand exclusion equipment and the operational procedures required for converting a drilled well into an efficient and safe producer. It follows a practical approach for the various types of sand control equipment, specific applications, the preparation and the final execution and installation of the equipment.
Webinar: Scenario planning for long term decision makingpetroEDGE
When developing a strategy or making investment decisions, there will be many uncertainties that need assessment. These can range from cost and timing issues to broader questions at the macro level, for example political, regulatory or social developments.
A way to get to grips with the latter category is by using ‘scenario analysis’, sometimes called ‘scenario thinking’ or ‘scenario planning’. A scenario in this context is an alternative future: a coherent narrative of a set of developments, trends and events that could unfold within some defined business environment.
A decision to drill an exploration well with the objective to find a new oil or gas field must be based on a sound assessment of the prospect’s risks and of the volumes: what is the chance that a well will find hydrocarbons, and how much could it be? Risk and volume assessments form the basis for decisions to drill a well or not, and as such it is the link between subsurface evaluation and the business aspects of the petroleum industry. This course explains how risks and volumes can be assessed in a realistic and pragmatic manner, based on a sound understanding of the geological details of the prospect as well as of its regional geological setting and our play understanding.
This intensive 2 x 2 week program has been put together to cover Advanced Well Engineering topics. The program intends to uplift the knowledge and skills for engineers, who are or will be directly involved in well and completion design. It will also benefit staff that are or will be working as a member of a day-to-day operations team.
The courses present advanced concepts of drilling and completion operations, plus post-completion enhancement (workovers). Participants will learn to visualize and troubleshoot what is happening downhole, discover what can be accomplished and optimized, and learn how drilling and completions can alter reservoir performance.
The Rig Safety Awareness course features ten e-learning modules, designed for new technical and petroleum engineers going offshore for the first time. The modules will require between 30 to 40 minutes study each.
Each module will also include assessment questions that relate to module’s content. Each e-learning module will be supported by four 2D ‘Walkthrough Events’ where the user is stepped through a series of safety failures that leed to an incident occurrence.
The main objective of this course is to acquire practical skills and tools on how to set up an asset depletion plan through a focused well and reservoir management approach. It is common in many asset teams to have an unclear picture of what future actions should be taken to the different wells and reservoirs as they deplete. In many cases, these actions are reactive rather than proactive. This is mainly due to a lack of a well-defined reservoir management and depletion plan or strategy.
This course presents you with the knowledge and tools to design a depletion plan. Such plan would be consistent with the increased understanding of the reservoir behavior obtained from focused reservoir management. The depletion plan is a comprehensive set of actions that the asset team designs to identify a way forward for every well by identifying future workovers, remedial work, gas lift methods, all the way to well abandonment. And for every reservoir by identifying underdeveloped areas, infill drilling targets, secondary recovery or IOR/EOR applications.
Major changes in 2020 for the global refining industrypetroEDGE
Refiners generally have incentives to upgrade their
refineries, by adding conversion units to produce greater
amounts of clean products (e.g., gasoline, diesel) and
lesser amounts of fuel oil. All else being equal, refiners
with conversion achieve higher margins than simple
refineries without conversion. However, it usually takes at
least four to five years from initial planning to actual startup
of a conversion project.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

HPHT WELL ENGINEERING
25 – 28 April 2016 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
COURSE AGENDA
The following subjects will be addressed during the course
CHARACTERISTICS OF HPHT WELLS
The industry definition of an HPHT well and examines the
characteristics that make HPHT wells challenging. A review of
why HPHT wells fail is considered in order to focus attention
on the key differences between HPHT and conventional wells.
CASING DESIGN IN HPHT WELLS
A review of the principals of casing design with a focus on the
effects of temperature on casing design criteria, such as load
and yield strength changes.
The course will review uniaxial and triaxial pipe strength, the
implications of manufacturing standards and tolerances as
per ISO 10400 and the impact of downhole environmental
conditions. Participants will develop an understanding of the
how connections are tested using ISO 13679 and how to select
suitably pre-qualified connections for use in a well.
The importance of casing wear and its impact on casing design
and well integrity are discussed. Participants will master the
process of detailed casing design, identifying relevant load
conditions for the lifetime of the well and producing an
optimised casing scheme that can withstand triaxial burst and
biaxial collapse loading under downhole conditions. HPHT
Service Load design challenges such buckling and trapped
annular pressures will be addressed as well as managing the
impact of corrosion and casing wear.
DRILLING FLUIDS AND CEMENT
Temperature has a profound effect on drilling fluid rheology
while the high gradients required to balance high bottom hole
pressures create challenges to carrying capacity and barite
sag. High temperatures can also compromise drilling fluid
additives. This section addresses the selection and design of
drilling fluids for HPHT wells including the choice between
water based and oil based fluid systems. Thermal impact on
rheology and additive stability is discussed as is rig fluid
system design including shakers and mud coolers. Thermal
impact on cement slurries and cement placement practices
are also addressed.
RIG AND EQUIPMENT SELECTION
A detailed review of the essential requirements of the rig and
drilling equipment is provided which covers the rig, fluids
control equipment and well control equipment, and
instrumentation. Particular attention will be given to
qualification and testing of BOP equipment and the sizing and
performance assessment of surface gas handling equipment.
FINGERPRINTING
The impact of temperature in fluid density and volume
downhole means that conventional well control signals are
less reliable in HPHT operations. It is critical to understand the
normal behaviour of a well such that abnormal behaviour can
be rapidly identified and reacted to. Proactive information
gathering or “fingerprinting” prior to and while drilling an
HPHT section achieves this. The array of data to be analysed
and modern mud logging techniques that can be used are
addressed.
WELL CONTROL
Comprehensive knowledge and sound skills in the principals
and practisers of well control are critical to HPHT operations.
This section addresses pore pressure prediction and narrow
margin environments and their profound impact on kick
tolerance in the region of the transition zone. The origin of
abnormal pressure, and an explanation for narrow pressure
margins between pore and fracture pressure is covered. The
causes of kicks and kick detection are addressed including
early kick detection technology. Well control procedures to
combat influxes taken with the drillstring on bottom, off
bottom and with the drillstring out of the hole are reviewed.
These will include driller’s method, volumetric method,
bullheading, combined volumetric and stripping method and
snubbing.
KICKS AND LOSSES
Given the narrow margin between formation pressure and
fracture pressure in HPHT wells, the situation may arise where
there are simultaneous influx and losses leading to
underground flows. The causes and treatments for
underground flows are described and explained.
TEAMWORK AND TRAINING
Competence, teamwork and communications between well
delivery team members is critical to ensure the safe drilling
of HPHT wells. This section examines how rig team
communication and performance on critical wells can be
enhanced by processes such as “Drilling the Well on a
Simulator”.
HPHT WELL TESTING
This section addresses the surface and downhole equipment
required to temporarily complete and test flow HPHT wells.
Operating practises to address the challenges of HHPT well
testing are discussed.

What past participants said about this training programme:
“Good and useful course for Drilling engineer who involves in designing and operations” Senior Drilling Engineer,
Talisman Malaysia
“Good and handy insight to HPHT Well Engineering” Drilling Consultant, Halliburton Energy Services
“This was a good introduction to some complexity of HPHT Wells and made me realise the time effort it take to plan
these wells” Drilling Engineer, Oil Search
“Good general overview of the things to consider in the early stages of HPHT well planning” Drilling Superintendent,
Talisman Malaysia
HPHT DRILLING PRACTISES
High reliability well delivery requires the implementation of
drilling practises that can mitigate problems associated with
high mud gradients/mud rheology, narrow margin
environments and thermal effects. Such practises must
address pressure limitations of conventional mud circulation
systems such that the well can be safely closed in with high
surface pressures at any time. This section addresses HPHT
processes and practises and introduces the concept of the
“Safe Drilling Checklist”.
MANAGED PRESSURE DRILLING (MPD)
MPD offers solutions to a number of the challenges of HPHT
well delivery, specifically the narrow margin between pore
and fracture pressure through the transition zone. Some
Operators require all “dry BOP” HPHT wells to be drilled with
MDP in place while recent riser developments are seeing
subsea and deepwater HPHT wells using MPD equipment too.
This section addresses the benefits of MPD operations and
examines the equipment and practises for its implementation
in HPHT wells.
BOTTOM HOLE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT
The effect of temperature and pressure on drilling fluid
density, the importance of ECD management, and use of PWD
is explained. The importance of operational procedures to
minimise surge and swab effects is emphasised. Kick
tolerance and gas behaviour is discussed in terms of the
effects of temperature and the importance of monitoring gas
while drilling is explained. Ballooning, breathing and
supercharging will be explained.
HPHT WELL EVALUATION
This section reviews the temperature and pressure limitations
of conventional logging tools and examines the equipment
and operating practises now available to evaluate wells in
hostile conditions. Evolving technologies including ahead of
the bit measurements and the use of real time petrophysical
data to update pore pressure prediction models and optimise
drilling fluid gradients will be discussed.
HPHT WELL INTEGRITY AND FAILURE MODES
This section will address well integrity problems associated
with HPHT Well Delivery and Production. A number of case
studies will address problems encountered during the drilling
phase, reservoir compaction during production as well as
zonal isolation prior to and after well suspension and
abandonment.
