No matter how technically impressive or innovative a technology is, if it is not operationally practical and cost-efficient, then it is just a cute widget. The Wellbore Tubulars section papers focus on delivering efficiencies, converting nonproductive time into new dollars for the bottom line.
-
The roles of wellbore tubulars in delivering continued well integrity are diverse, critical, and congruent throughout the life of the well.
-
The NORSOK standard focuses on the establishment of well barriers and well-barrier elements, and how these are accepted and monitored to prevent loss of well integrity that ultimately could lead to a loss in wellbore-fluid containment.
