SafeWells, the Expro designed bespoke software package, allows the well integrity of all wells to be monitored in real time and provides a clear overview of asset integrity across the whole organisation.
The system can be easily configured to integrate with clients existing policies and procedures, allowing data to be recorded and monitored both at the well site by operational personnel and analysed onshore by engineers, management and legislative authorities alike. The emphasis has been on delivering a system which is user-friendly – it is only through this means that operators will gain the full benefits of the system.
Some of the key benefits include:-
Clear well integrity status overview
Centralised data base
Integrity compliance
Easy to use – intuitive
Safety improvements
Cost savings
Flexible
Proactive integrity approach
Expro has developed the system to be extremely flexible. Existing paper based input forms (for example leak off test sheets) can be exactly recreated within the system. Field staff are therefore presented with an intuitive system that has a familiar look and feel.
A key benefit of the system is that acceptable leak rate criteria (in accordance with API standards or industry best practices) can be set up on the input forms. This allows wells to be categorised based upon predefined failure criteria, and presented using a “traffic light” dashboard to highlight wells with integrity related issues. Further, email notifications are sent to appointed personnel notifying them if failure parameters are exceeded.
SafeWells integrates with existing database systems to produce live trending of production data (such as SCADA and PI systems). As a typical example, SafeWells continually monitors tubing and annulus pressures in the well. Rules are entered in accordance with client’s policy for annulus management (for example MAASP and trigger pressures), and the well is highlighted if these limits are exceeded.
Output reports provide a clear understanding of asset integrity status. Testing frequencies can be configured in accordance with company procedures, and SafeWells will highlight wells that are not compliant. An example of such a report is shown above.
Some of the many benefits that our clients are realising through use of the system include reduced operating costs through more reliable equipment selection and improved utilisation of personnel. Further, it has been reported that some of our clients’ insurance overheads have also been reduced through implementation of the system.
