Integrated surveillance technology optimizes subsea production

摘要

The consequences of bad well integrity management can be devastating. Well integrity software is helping to address these challenges. The path from the pore to the pipeline is most critical in deepwater and ultra-deepwater wells. Drilling and completion pose significant challenges; however, the phases can be finalized within a few weeks. Production can continue for 20 years or more, so the industry must identify ways to sustain production with minimal intervention. To accomplish this, a system is required to predict and detect potential events that could adversely affect production; ensure and enhance safety of personnel, environment, and equipment; allow durable and efficient complexity management; expedite the decision process related to HSE issues; and optimize operator assets.
