Well Barrier Schematics Verifications

Well Barrier Schematic Verification is a vital aspect of well integrity management. ScanWell offers interventionless methods that can help to evaluate if the schematics are accurate. Whether for daily operations or ownership transitions, our expertise in WBS verification supports operational excellence and long-term well integrity.

A Well Barrier Schematic (WBS) is a cornerstone document in well integrity management. It serves as a detailed blueprint of the well’s safety barriers and provides critical insights for managing potential integrity issues. These schematics are indispensable for maintaining safe operations and ensuring compliance with company and regulatory standards.

Key features of a Well Barrier Schematic include:

• Barrier Overview: Details of primary and secondary barrier envelopes, their components, and interdependencies.
• Component Limitations: Defines operational constraints, material properties, and other factors influencing barrier performance.
• Maintenance History Log: Captures past workovers, maintenance activities, and significant events, creating a complete operational record.

Role in Ownership Transitions

Well Barrier Schematics play a critical role during ownership changes. They provide the new operator with:

• Current Status: A snapshot of the well’s condition, including barriers, components, and known limitations.
• Operational Insights: Comprehensive maintenance records and testing history, streamlining continuity in well integrity management.
