Conductor & Riser Integrity Checks

The conductor serves as the first and outermost barrier for the wellbore, playing its role in safeguarding the integrity of oil and gas operations. As the well’s outermost annular barrier, is to protect the wellbore and the surrounding environment, ensuring environmental safety and regulatory compliance. The conductor shields the wellbore from external water intrusion, which can create a corrosive environment.

In most wells, the conductor is naturally vented at the surface. Any breach that allows hydrocarbons to enter the conductor results in direct venting into the environment, posing significant safety and ecological risks. The splash zone, where the conductor is exposed to constant interaction with seawater and air, is particularly prone to severe corrosion, making routine checks crucial.

The Role of the Production Riser

The production riser is another critical component, protecting the wellbore from external mechanical forces caused by sea currents, wind, and other weather conditions. It acts as a protective sleeve for the production tubing, shielding it from environmental impacts and ensuring the safe transport of hydrocarbons to the surface.

Exposed to harsh offshore environments, the riser endures significant stress over time, making its integrity critical to maintaining safe and efficient production. Verifying its integrity ensures that there are no leaks or damages that could compromise the well’s safety or environmental protection.

ScanWell’s Advanced Integrity Solutions

Maintaining the integrity of the conductor and riser involves regular monitoring and diagnostics to detect leaks, corrosion, and structural damage. ScanWell offers interventionless solutions for assessing conductor and riser integrity, providing actionable insights to operators for mitigating risks and maintaining operational excellence.

Conductor Integrity Checks

ScanWell specializes in comprehensive integrity assessments of conductors. This includes: Leak Detection and Analysis, Identifying breaches that could allow hydrocarbons to enter the conductor and vent into the environment.

• Corrosion Monitoring: Sampling and analyzing conductor materials to detect ongoing corrosion, especially in critical zones like the splash zone or liquid level areas.
• Water Intrusion Prevention: Evaluating the conductor’s ability to prevent external water ingress, which can accelerate corrosion and compromise structural integrity.

Riser Integrity Checks

Ensuring the production riser’s reliability is essential for the safety and efficiency of offshore production systems. ScanWell provides Interventionless  Diagnostics. Advanced tools to identify leak rates, paths and sources.
