Live Wellhead Integrity Surveillance
Streams SCADA and DCS wellhead data to detect integrity anomalies, localise leaks and track wellhead movement on producing wells.

The Challenge
Integrity failures cost $2M-$50M+ per incident. Barrier status is refreshed in quarterly or annual reviews, so degradation in between surfaces only when someone happens to notice it.
How It Works
- Ingests SCADA and DCS feeds for wellhead pressure, temperature, flow and valve status.
- Compares live signals with learned baselines to detect anomalies and localise leak depth.
- Surveillance staff get prioritised alerts as deviations appear, with context to act.
What It Removes
- Barrier status refreshed once a quarter
- Leaks located only after production is lost
- Anomalies found weeks later in an audit
Input Data RequirementsSCADA and DCS integration access, daily operational data from drilling and reporting systems, 2-3 years of history, thresholds and user roles
Output FormatContinuous integrity status per well, prioritised anomaly alerts, leak location and severity, wellhead movement trend, monitoring log
“I get told about a leak while it is small, not when the pressure survey comes round next quarter.”
