nir-vana innovation network

The Italian company has performed many “drilling, completion and production optimization” engineering works, gaining a significant experience especially in the assessment of well integrity and in the standardization of well operations. Active on the market since 2001, the company operates in Italy, Europe and Middle East, with customers including Eni, Stogit, Edison, Edison Stoccaggio, Bunduq, Enagas, Téréga, ADOC, Fluxys. Because of the strong well design and operations know-how, the peculiarities of the services provided are an enhanced problem-solving attitude and the flexibility to develop tailor-made solutions to achieve the Customer’s intended scope. The company proposes a two-fold approach: • Well integrity assessment, that is the assessment of the integrity of the existing wells connected with the CO2 storage reservoir, which may represent the possible leak paths for the stored gas. • Well integrity assurance, that is the definition of the requirements of well barrier elements for new injection wells in a CO2 environment. Still in the well integrity domain, the company is specialized in the assessment of the integrity status of natural gas storage wells. The company has also developed a software that supports both a risk-based analysis of the current well integrity status and the estimation of the well ageing and residual life, by means of specific degradation factors applied to well barrier elements. The company is interested in offering its well integrity services to a partner that either is already performing or is interested in setting up a CCS project in response to a future EU call as partner or supplier for ongoing and/or future project proposals. The Italian comapny is interested in getting into touch with foreign companies operating in the Oil & Gas upstream sector, that either already own a field to convert to CO2 storage or plans to develop a brand-new field designed to store CO2.
