 Attached Documentation

• The database integrates with the external database to

access important documentation.
• For example a casing design or integrity management
document would be linked from a field level while a test
certification document would be linked from a specific well.
• Technical manuals are also added to specific parts to
provide necessary information on particular parts such as
downhole safety valves, choke valves and tree valves. The
primary attached document is the Well Barrier Schematic
and can be produced by its own icon within the main tree
schematic screen.

27
Other examples of attached documentation include:
• Drilling and Completion Manuals and Procedures
• Casing and Tubing Design Documents
• Cementing Reports
• Daily Drilling and Completion Reports
• Well Handover Documents
• Well Integrity Management and Philosophy Documentation
• Tubing and Casing String Test Charts
• Formation Integrity Test and Leak Off Tests
• Tree Certification Packages
• Tree and Wellhead Manuals
• SSSV information
• Photographs

 Pressure Monitoring
• Daily pressure readings are imported into the database for
each tubing and annulus component. These have maximum
pressure service limits configured, which if exceeded issue
email alerts to relevant personnel.
• This feature allows for immediate recognition of a pressure
issue within tubing or casing strings, directly to both offshore
and onshore personnel.
• The issue can then be quickly responded to and controlled. The
database also allows pressure data to be reproduced as charts
over time that can be manipulated by the user. The data can
also be reproduced to allow grouping and representation of
various queries from the user:

30
• Annuli and well pressures in a group set of wells over a set
time period (field, platform, module, manifold centre)
• Annuli and well pressures that have exceeded a pressure
limit over a set time
• Particular annuli pressures (for example all B-Annulus
pressures in a field)

31
 Data Manipulation
• One of the strengths of the software is the ability to
manipulate and present captured data to a range of
queries.
• Well Activity Summaries List well activities carried out
over a set time and define as per activity type and/or
platform or centre

32
Activity Summaries

33
 Well Activity Details
• Answers from within a test form can be reviewed in
isolation.
• For example a pressure build up recorded over a set period
covering a series of wells for a selected part, or one well
over a set period of time to reveal trending of results.

34
 Component Details
• All well components have a series of part properties
assigned and populated containing attributes such as size,
type, weight, material and part numbers.
• The system can also export the summary reports into
Adobe or Excel formats where further manipulation and
presentation of the results can be carried out.

35
 Integrity Assessments
• However a well will also be assessed following a failure of a
barrier during routine testing, or through annulus pressure
monitoring and alerts.
• The questions on the assessment form are based upon the
Petroleum Safety Authority Well Integrity Forum and its
Well Integrity Categorization Principles. The questions are
focused on a 2 barrier philosophy that should be in place
for the well.
• Depending on the number of failures and their leakage
relative to established acceptable criteria, the well is
allocated into an Integrity Category as shown in Table 1

36
Integrity Categories

37
• Each of the failure categories have a pre-determined
response that must be carried out within a set period of
time.
• This information is available through the database to all
parties within the company and provides a consistent
means of assessment, classification and reaction to a well
integrity issue within a particular field.
• All parties are therefore aware of the issue and the actions
that are expected to be carried out against it.

38

 Conclusions
• The system is a web based database that allows access to
the same dataset by both well site and office based
personnel, and helps to ensure compliance with API
standards.
• Data analysis capabilities are available to analyze results
and make informed decisions relating to both policies and
procedures, and equipment reliability.
• The database provides a real time well integrity
management capability in an auditable trail of operations
and documentation.

40
• Electronic data, such as certification, photographs or
scanned pressure charts documentation can be appended
to a well or component.
• Critical data is charted while 'triggers' can be set on each
data field to flag abnormalities.
• This ensures that the relevant personnel are immediately
informed of any problems.

41
42
 Recommendation Testing

• Testing frequency for static components is recommended to

be the 2 years inspective of any test procedure.
• It is recommended that open / close valves to be checked
every 3 months and test performance to reviewed every 6
months.
