Well integrity involves the technical, operational, and organizational practices implemented to minimize the risk of unintended release of formation fluids throughout a well’s lifecycle. It encompasses the processes and controls applied to ensure safe production, maintain containment, and protect personnel, the environment, and assets.
This course addresses the key aspects of well integrity management, focusing on the principles and practices required to maintain barrier integrity under various operating conditions. It provides a structured and participative learning environment that enables well operations personnel to develop the knowledge necessary to safeguard well integrity from drilling and completion through well testing, production, intervention, workover, and final abandonment.
Emphasis is placed on understanding well barrier elements, risk assessment, monitoring and verification practices, and organizational responsibilities to ensure that well integrity is consistently maintained throughout the well’s operating life cycle.

Peter Aird, C.Eng, CMarEng, FIMarEST, has over 40 years of experience as a drilling, well engineering, and operations specialist. He began his career with Shell International (1980–1987) as a drilling supervisor, later moving into staff-based engineering roles with Shell and BP between 1987 and 1993. From 1993 to 2005, he expanded his expertise through global consultancy assignments, working on deepwater, HPHT, exploration and appraisal frontier wells, and complex deepwater horizontal development drilling projects. His international experience spans Southeast Asia (Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and China), the North Atlantic (West of Britain, Norway, Faroe Islands, and Greenland), the Black Sea, the South Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and West Africa. From 2005 onward, he held senior staff, consultancy, and advisory leadership roles in specialist drilling engineering with operating companies including Kerr-McGee, Maersk, Marathon Oil, Cairn Energy (UK), ONGC (India), Centrica (Norway), and Providence Resources (Ireland). During this period, he further refined his expertise across subsea, horizontal, platform infill, HPHT, deepwater, and ultra-deepwater drilling projects.
Personnel involved in the operational management, leadership, supervisory, engineering, technical or administrative support of a well’s operational life cycle: drilling, completion, well testing, well services, intervention, work-over, to final well abandonment.
