SUMMARY:International: Register Now for the MENA Wells 2025 September 9 – September 10, 2025 – Abu Dhabi
DESCRIPTION:\nWelcome to the New MENA WELLS 2025, previously OWI MENA. Based on your feedback, we’re launching a refreshed experience with MENA WELLS taking place 9–10 September in Abu Dhabi to include the entire well portfolio in the Middle East, from onshore to offshore, and encompass the entire well lifecycle. We also wanted to bring you a brand new refreshed experience with even more value and even more features.\nThis year’s agenda includes subsea access, well safety, operator workshops, and association events, starting with an exclusive PDO-led session on their well intervention strategy.\nRegistered delegates also gain access to the IMCA regional meeting on 11 September. Sponsors, exhibitors, and VIPs can take advantage of a dedicated meeting area for high-value networking and deal-making. Expect five networking sessions, 25 expert talks, and 10 tech demos, all crafted to support your work in the region.\nWe’re excited to welcome you to this next chapter of MENA WELLS, where advancing well safety is a priority, innovative solutions are showcased, and the future of the Middle East & North Africa’s well operations takes shape.\n\nMarket Overview & Well Integrity: Strengthening Safety

analytics, operators can significantly reduce risks, safeguard infrastructure,\nand protect critical energy assets.\nSection 2: Well Integrity – Preventing Premature Well Barrier Failures\nMaintaining well integrity is a cornerstone of safe and efficient oil and gas operations.\nFailure of well barriers not only leads to costly downtime but also poses significant environmental and safety risks.\nExperts emphasize the importance of proactive prevention strategies and continuous improvement initiatives\nto strengthen operations.\nKey Insights:\n\nRoot Cause Identification: Preventing barrier failures requires enhanced investigation methodologies and robust root-cause analysis.\nCase Study Learnings: Effective analysis highlights the need for advanced resources and methodologies to uncover underlying issues.\nCorrective Actions: Implementing corrective measures helps prevent repeat failures, boosting efficiency and reliability.\nContinuous Improvement: Embedding improvement methodologies into company culture identifies process gaps and ensures long-term resilience.\n\nExpert Contribution\nAndrey Yugay, Specialist, Well Integrity (Ops & Control), ADNOC\nFree Standing Wells: Revisiting Legacy Assets\n\nReassessing 11 wells suspended between 1978–1982, originally plugged with inhibited diesel, to evaluate long-term preservation strategies.\nExamining risks linked to legacy xmas trees left in modified configurations and developing intervention strategies for safer management.\nReviewing challenges of accessing wellheads below sea level after platform removals, with updates on feasibility studies and future remediation plans.\n\nMuhammad Farooq Zubair, Completion and Workover Engineer, ADNOC\nZonal Isolation Innovation: Expandable Steel Patch Technology\n\nMinimally invasive steel patches provide solutions for zonal communication issues while reducing downtime and avoiding costly workovers.\nEnhancing well integrity with efficient deployment methods that optimize intervention efficiency.\nSupporting long-term isolation performance through proven technologies that extend well life and safeguard asset value.\n\nArtur Tleulin, Senior Engineer, Drilling (Drilling Completion Materials), ADNOC\nEnhancing Well Integrity: Optimising Glass Plug Technology for Barrier Assurance\n\nLeveraging glass plugs to improve well integrity and address limitations in conventional slickline operations.\nDrawing on lessons learned from over 800 well completions to highlight operational improvements and enhanced equipment reliability.\nStrengthening vendor collaboration to refine deployment strategies in line with drilling plans, HSE, and well integrity standards.\n\nConclusion\nThe oil and gas industry continues to face evolving challenges in pipeline monitoring, surveillance, and well integrity.\nFrom preventing theft and sabotage to ensuring long-term well barrier reliability, the sector is embracing advanced technologies,\ninnovative methodologies, and collaborative partnerships.\nBy prioritizing continuous improvement and adopting proven solutions such as expandable steel patches and glass plug technology,\noperators are not only protecting assets but also driving greater operational resilience for the future.\n\n\nPanel Session: Enhancing Well Integrity through Innovation\n\nPredictive Maintenance: Leverage AI and fibre-optic data for early failure detection and improved well reliability to minimise downtime and extend asset life.\nAdvanced Materials: Apply corrosion-resistant alloys and composites to extend well life and minimise risks to reduce maintenance costs and improve safety.\nDesign Optimisation: Strengthen well architecture with cutting-edge casing and cementing methods to ensure long-term integrity and reduce the need for future interventions.\n\nFayez Issa, Advisor, Well Integrity, ADNOC\nAdvanced Well Diagnostics: Field Trial Outcome\n\nReview the results of diagnosing behind-casing communication (SAP B/C) to better understand annular flow paths and identify persistent diagnostic challenges.\nAssess the performance of conventional logging tools in real-world trials and examine how their limitations impacted pressure anomaly interpretation.\nShare key outcomes from recent field pilots using novel diagnostic solutions, highlighting their effectiveness in revealing well behaviour during pressure build-up and drawdown.\n\nSergei Vorozhikhin, Senior Engineer Well Integrity (Petrophysics), ADNOC\nEnsuring Caprock Integrity of a Depleted Gas Reservoir for Underground Gas Storage Feasibility: A Case Study from Nile Delta\n\nAddress caprock containment uncertainties using integrated geomechanical modelling and reservoir analysis to support safe underground gas storage potential.\nOptimise evaluation of sealing capacity through 3D seismic interpretation, well log correlation, and pressure history to mitigate leakage risks and ensure structural stability.\nEnable long-term storage feasibility by validating caprock integrity with field-proven workflows and cross-disciplinary collaboration to enhance regional energy resilience.\n\nOmar Hamouda, Reservoir Engineer, Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company\nSession 3: Well Productivity\nWell Intervention & Well Integrity: Enhancing Asset Performance and Safety\n\nOptimise well intervention strategies to maximise production to improve cost efficiency.\nUnderstand the role of well integrity management in extending asset life ensuring operational
