Well Examination is the Independent Assessment (“Verification”) on behalf of a Well Operator that Wells are being Designed and Maintained in accordance with the appropriate standards.

Well Examination is a requirement of the Design and Construction Regulations which were introduced by the UK Government in 1996. Since that time NRG has been instrumental in the development and execution of well examination schemes for many Clients. Well Examination is also performed for International Operations for some clients who wish to promote Independent Verification as part of an integrated QA/QC approach to Operational Safety.

NRG, as Well Examiners, are fully independent of the Client’s line management and utilise either the NRG Standard Well Examination Scheme or that of the Client. In either case the Schemes are standardised and do not require major input of resources or expenditure from the Client in terms of up-front development or day-to-day running.

The Schemes cover all types of wells and operations including drilling, completion and production operations, through to abandonment. They ensure that there are no overlaps with the Independent Verification of Offshore Installation Safety Critical Equipment.

NRG has developed a Well Examination Handbook that explains the well examination process.
