SPE 2010 distinguished lecturer Jerald Dethlefs, ConocoPhilips, will speak about  'Near surface external casing corrosion: cause, remediation and mitigation'

Jerald C. Dethlefs is a Well Integrity and Diagnostics Engineer with ConocoPhillips in the Global Completions and Production Engineering Group in Houston, Texas.

This lecture illustrates that well barrier problems are not limited to being internal and deep in the well and require expensive (i.e., rig) methods to repair. Inexpensive repair approaches "outside the box" of traditional methods can be done safely, reduce risk and provide economic value for the company. The corrosion mechanism discussion should be applicable to most oil and gas operating areas around the globe.

His talk will be followed by a buffet networking dinner.
