Platform Well Construction
Well built on the surface casing, conductor acts as a marine protector only.
Well built on the conductor – latched or may lift off when hot (Hybrid). The
GAP
HYBRID – no lockdown? More complex!

4 Steps to be Considered
1. Calculate well “as-built” weight – Size of the initial forces
2. Measure remaining wall thickness – Quantity of steel carrying forces
3. Assess well criticality – re-model with reduced performance & added external & operational loads
4. Implement corrective method – Fix if required & re-model

Do in-situ load and model match?
Has the well maintained its as-built load and GAP?
Are all the springs still working?
If structural spring fails the rest will take its share whether they are capable or not!

Conclusion
The well model is invaluable to predict problems and catch the wells EARLY…$$$.
Generic studies on analogous wells increases efficiency.
Well movement measurements during intervention & operations are invaluable. Is it moving as it should?
Accuracy of the analysis - isolates ONLY the wells requiring attention & defines the optimum solution.
The wrong fix can cause other failures but if it’s not broken – don’t fix it!
