Advances in Oil and Gas Wellbore Integrity, 2nd Edition

Propose a Topic

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Wellbore integrity is a key issue relevant for the whole life cycle of oil and gas drilling, production, and abandonment. Once the integrity of the wellbore is destroyed, it may cause shut-in and safety accidents, even seriously endangering the existence of production wells. With the development of oil fields, well integrity plays an important role in reducing the production risk and ensuring the life of oil and gas wells. The application of real-time monitoring technology to continuously evaluate chemical and mechanical factors affecting wellbore integrity is an effective way to ensure wellbore safety in a timely manner.

This second edition is based on the successful first edition and continues to focus on advanced techniques applied to well integrity testing and assessment to achieve safe and efficient production. With the development of digitalization and intelligence in the oil and gas industry, new solutions are available for well integrity monitoring. One of the innovative methods of oil and gas well integrity detection is to realize visualization analysis of big data through reliable signal analysis methods, such as wellbore flow parameters obtained using sensors and real-time casing monitoring.

Therefore, traditional and unconventional methods used to detect and assess well integrity are the focus of this Topic. In particular, the processing method, calculation standard, and visual analysis of well-monitoring data are used in well integrity assessment. Factors may include the reliability of wellbore flow models, effective information extraction from real-time wellbore monitoring data, and coupled evaluation models involving all barrier elements of wellbore integrity. This research can be based on practical experience in the field or detailed simulations.

Preprints

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.

ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.

iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.

iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.

v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
