Well Examination

Ensure the pressure boundary of your well is controlled throughout its life

Speak to an expert

We can provide an independent assurance process on behalf of Well Operators to ensure that the pressure boundary of the well is controlled throughout its life and that the pressure-containment equipment that forms part of the well is suitable for this purpose.

This service is equally suited as part of an incident investigation process or a review after a completed operation.

The work Add Energy did for our exploration well was thorough and by competent personnel. This was appreciated as valuable work by all involved parties and personnel in that project.

For our company, having an Independent Well Examiner is positive, also with the Insurance perspective, since we are listed on the London stock exchange and this system is a requirement and well-known system for UKCS wells.
