This document is applicable to all wells that are operated by the petroleum and natural gas industry. This document is applicable to any well, or group of wells, regardless of their age, location (including onshore, subsea and offshore wells) or type (e.g. naturally flowing, artificial lift, injection wells).

This document is intended to assist the petroleum and natural gas industry to effectively manage well integrity during the well life cycle by providing:

• - minimum requirements to ensure management of well integrity; and
• - recommendations and techniques that well operators can apply in a scalable manner based on a well´s specific risk characteristics.

Assuring well integrity comprises two main building blocks: the first is to ensure well integrity during well design and construction, and the second is to manage well integrity throughout the remaining well life thereafter.

This document addresses each stage of the well life cycle, as defined by the six phases in a) to f), and describes the deliverables between each phase within a Well Integrity Management system
