Casing and Cementing in Well Integrity
This course will start by taking you through the basic principles of well integrity with the primary focus on the role of casing and cementing in well integrity. You will then explore casing failure mechanisms before a deeper dive into the various tools commonly used today to evaluate or monitor casing integrity. The goal will be to help you appreciate the “big picture” about well integrity while focusing on casing integrity evaluation.
The second part of the course focuses on cement evaluation and explores the common tools used today. The physics of each tool will be discussed to help you appreciate how each tool works and key factors that affect tool response and log results will be covered. You will also learn how to select the best tool to meet your well investigation requirements.
