Integrity Technology: Best Practice INTETECH WELLS – WHAT WE OFFER….
Established in 1991, Intetech is a UK-based company that specialises in integrity management, corrosion and materials engineering. Alongside consultancy and engineering services, the Intetech Well Integrity Toolkit (iWIT) system aids Oil & Gas Producers to operate wells more safely and improve operational efficiency. The company brings an innovative and comprehensive approach to dealing with every type of integrity problem that could affect a well. Intetech has wide experience in well lifetime modelling, materials selection for challenging conditions, design of cathodic protection for casings and advice on remedial or preventive work. At the heart of the company’s Well Integrity operations is the flagship iWIT software, developed through years of experience investigating well integrity issues. This fully-fledged integrity management software system can integrate with clients’ existing database systems to extract information and is being used by all types of operators, onshore and offshore, from brand new to mature fields. INTETECH WELL INTEGRITY TOOLKIT (iWIT) SOFTWARE
Looking for a well integrity management system? Unsure what to do with legacy data systems? Need a system that can grow with the company and will handle
all the integrity problems you may face in the future? Multiple copies of old well data duplicated in folders? The iWIT software is comprehensive in scope and offers real “added-value” data analysis, far beyond a basic database system. Intetech engineers evaluate the full scope of your company requirements and then establish the architecture and functionality which matches your needs.
KEY BENEFITS
Cash flow enhancement is the primary benefit for oil and gas field operation, as a result of implementing the iWIT software: • reduced operating cost and well failure,
• improved safety through increased certainty of well integrity

iWIT INSTALLATIONS
WHAT iWIT USERS SAY
“I have to say I strongly believe this a truly a ‘world class’ effort and represents the best practice of well integrity management that I have ever seen. The system, the interfaces, the rigour, the management reporting, the alert mechanisms, the audit ability of the system are just fantastic. We have a safer oilfield today and with less effort, less mistakes, less misunderstandings with the authorities, better planning and prioritisation of non-routine and routine intervention and maintenance”. – David Brittan – KPO Well Engineering Co-ordinator
"It is a pleasure to work with the Intetech team; their understanding of Well Integrity issues is second to none"- Nigel Snow - Head of Well Integrity Maersk Oil, Denmark “iWIT is a great program for well integrity management.”- Curtis Heller – Well Integrity Engineer, Nexen, UK “Our staff enjoyed working with the Intetech team, they were responsive, professional and a pleasure to deal with” –Emily Sirayeva, KPO iWIT Administrator

INTETECH WELL INTEGRITY TOOLKIT –WORLDWIDE IMPLEMENTATION
The BG group selected the Intetech Well Integrity Toolkit for managing its well integrity across worldwide assets. The software was customized to reflect BG Group well integrity management philosophy for testing requirements, acceptance criteria, dispensation for deferred action policy and repair planning and prioritization of actions. Rolled out across operations in the UK, Trinidad, Bolivia, Tunisia, India and Australia, the iWIT software links to existing database systems for accessing production data, chemical analysis of fluids and annulus pressures. A comprehensive database of all installed wellhead, Xmas tree and SSSV safety critical equipment provides the basis for defining the scope of routine testing. Further customizing of reports to provide a standardized format across the globe has
all contributed to better efficiency and clearer communication of well integrity issues within the group. All the systems are linked to “iWIT International” software based at the BG Head office which provides a snapshot overview of the well integrity status of the worldwide wells.. 30 YEARS WELL INTEGRITY HISTORY –iWIT SOFTWARE
ZADCO has been operating the Intetech Well Integrity Toolkit software for 2 years. Linked to their corporate database system the software automatically reflects the installed equipment in the wells. The production data is used to estimate the corrosion damage of the tubing and the presence of annuli pressures is automatically identified with warning traffic lights and email alerts. The system automatically risk-ranks wells which fail to meet safe operational limits.

Following successful use of the system for one year, ZADCO realized the great potential of having all their historical data from the past 30 years of operations available within the single system. Intetech data managers have now entered all the historical change-out of wellhead and Xmas tree valves and seals since start up of every well. All integrity tests and diagnostic pressure blow down and build up tests have been entered into iWIT giving ZADCO access to probably the most comprehensive set of well integrity data available to any operator internationally.
INTERFACING TO 3RD PARTY SOFTWARE

WELL INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (WIMS)
Cairn Energy India is currently implementing a well integrity management system. The contract was awarded to Intetech Wells Ltd to prepare the WIMS documentation. This included setting up the framework, writing the Well Integrity Management Manual and then revising all Cairn current well engineering documents that need to be aligned with the new WIMM. The WIMM, meets the requirements of Indian regulations and brings the best appropriate practice to the operator. The scope includes all well types and all phases of the well life: design, drilling, operation, workover and re-entry, suspension and abandonment. INTETECH WELL INTEGRITY TOOLKIT FOR GAS STORAGE WELLS
The ENI group company Snamrete Gas operates about 500 gas storage wells onshore in Italy. Well integrity and control is critical to ensure that there are no losses of the stored gas and to provide guaranteed protection to the environment and public living close to the storage fields. The iWIT software automatically reads injected and produced gas volumes per well allowing tracking of productivity as well as managing all the safety critical SSSV testing and annulus pressure monitoring in real time. Interfacing to the existing production data management system and incorporating a comprehensive well design database within iWIT, the software is fulfilling a vital role for the company.
