INTETECH WELL INTEGRITY TOOLKIT

This web-based software has been designed by Liane
• Smith and Dragan Milanovic of Intetech Ltd., established
• experts with extensive operating company experience in
the field of downhole engineering and operations. It is a
unique approach to well integrity management. The
software combines the functions of:

• A comprehensive database drawing together

reservoir information, well design, completion
condition, operating data, inspection results,
workover operations etc.
• Quantitative data analysis
• Immediate engineering and management feedback.
• Further functions are available to provide guidance
in planning and implementing workover operations.

The business benefits

Date
include:
• Streamlining of data collection activities.
• Improved in-company networking between
departments (reservoir engineering, drilling,
operations, inspection, corrosion engineering
etc.)
• Consistency of approach to well integrity
problems.
• Fast identification of potentially dangerous
situations.
• Ease of technical evaluation of problem wells
and design of remedial action.
• Prioritisation of workover schedule.
• Instant feedback to management in accessible
format.

 The web-based software opens with a field view
which can be zoomed and panned to focus on
particular areas. Field relief features can be
removed. Wells are indicated by type and well-
integrity status using a colour coding system so
that there is immediate indication of the status. A
small selection of the many data views are shown
here.

Clicking on an individual well reveals its’

status according to criteria relevant to the
field and the company. In this example the
estimated tubing life is indicated to exceed
the design life, the wellhead seals have
been successfully tested at the last check
but there is evidence of annulus pressure
problems exceeding set criteria so the well is
identified for shut-in for diagnostic testing.
Users who log on with administrator status
have access to adjust “rules” or to post a
note indicating waiver of normal rules for a Well data is entered in categories as “Design
specific well or other explanatory comments. data” (all information, design, test results etc. prior
to handover to operations) and “operational data”.
Data entry interfaces are set up so that there is
direct downloading from existing data sources
(such as Excel sheets or continuous reading
monitoring data). Where specific data is entered
infrequently, such as the well design, or annual
test results, then it may be entered directly by
typing into forms, but the majority of regularly
entered data is by direct loading to avoid
duplication of data collection effort.

Any data can be viewed directly in tabular format,

or graphed within user defined ranges (e.g. within
certain date periods). Any view of the screen can
be exported to other programs such as Excel or
Word, or emailed directly.
Production data is combined with well design data and well deviation survey data to calculate the maximum
corrosion rate in the tubing and use that information to estimate the remaining life of the tubing, giving
advanced warning of possible leaks or indicating potential sources of annulus pressure.
 Comparison of annulus pressure data
graphs with tubing head pressure data gives
an immediate indication of excursions above
MAASP values and highlights wells requiring
diagnostic testing to evaluate the source of
SAP. SAP diagnostic test data is mathematically analysed
to evaluate the pressure build-up pattern, assisting in
diagnosing potential causes.
