Training in Action: Real-life Plug and Abandon Scenarios
Here’s how the Plug and Abandon training prepares teams for effective well decommissioning:
-
A well engineer uses the course’s barrier design framework to develop a compliant P&A plan for a depleted North Sea well.
-
After identifying annular pressure during abandonment, a team applies root cause analysis tools learned in the course to resolve integrity concerns and secure the well.
These scenarios demonstrate how P&A training equips professionals to manage decommissioning with precision and compliance.
