Flare Hours, Leak Surveys and the Long Paperwork of Closing a Well

five years of the School's measurement work with the oil and gas sector

The School of Continuous Improvement's Impact Report 2021-2026 looks back on five years of work with the oil and gas sector across three areas: reconciling facilities' reported flaring against their own flare-meter records, measuring the interval between a leak survey's finding and its recorded repair, and resurveying a hundred wells listed as plugged on a state register, fewer than half of which carried a complete closure record. It closes with the School's intention to build a shared approach to the aftercare record of a closed well.
