... Abstract Dealing with well integrity non-compliances with respect to the principle of two well barrier envelopes is a problem of paramount importance in well integrity governance during the life cycle of wells. Besides, during production phase, operators might experience several difficulties...

... Abstract The introductory use of existing inflow control devices (ICD’s) fitted with innovative dissolvable metal plugging rods to allow the operator to run washpipe free completions to reduce rig time is discussed. This work discusses an ICD washpipe-free application run in a long, deep water...
