The Hidden Cost of Weak Well Integrity Capability
How hidden integrity gaps turn into production loss, intervention cost, operational and reputational risk
Most integrity failures are late signals.
The real damage often begins earlier through weak surveillance, unclear barrier ownership, inconsistent field execution, and capability gaps that quietly accumulate across the asset life cycle.
This webinar explores where those hidden costs sit, why they are rising, and what leaders can do now to strengthen integrity capability before the consequence becomes operational, financial, or reputational.
Why This Matters Now
Wells are operating longer.
Integrity expectations are rising.
Late-life risk is increasing.
And the cost of weak capability is becoming harder to absorb.
Organizations that strengthen integrity capability early are better positioned to reduce avoidable failures, protect production continuity, and sustain confidence across engineering, operations, and leadership.
In This Webinar, You Will Learn
hidden sources of integrity risk and value loss
early signs of weak integrity capability
practical levers to strengthen asset assurance

About the Facilitator
Michael Etuhoko, AccBD, GCB.D, CCB.D, ACC
Founder & CEO, Protekz Inc
2025–26 SPE Distinguished Lecturer
Executive Advisor and Board Director
Mr. Etuhoko is an independent board director, executive coach, strategic advisor, and globally experienced well engineering leader with more than 35 years of leadership across Fortune 500 energy, natural resources, and industrial organizations. He brings a rare combination of technical depth, operational leadership, governance discipline, and executive perspective to issues where asset integrity, production continuity, and risk exposure intersect.
What distinguishes Mike is his ability to connect well integrity capability to broader business consequence. With deep experience in drilling, completions, intervention, and well integrity, supported by advanced petroleum engineering education from IFP School, he understands how hidden technical weaknesses can evolve into production loss, rising intervention cost, operational exposure, and reputational risk. This makes his perspective especially relevant for leaders responsible for mature assets, late-life operations, and high-consequence environments.
Michael has held senior operational and technical leadership roles across major international energy projects, including roles with TotalEnergies, Shell, KPO Kazakhstan, and HCML Indonesia. He now works at the intersection of leadership, strategy, governance, and capability development for executives, boards, and organizations navigating complex transformation.
As Founder and CEO of Protekz Inc., Mike advises boards, executives, and senior operational leaders on leadership, governance, sustainability, and strategic execution. He is also the 2025–26 Society of Petroleum Engineers Distinguished Lecturer, delivering a global lecture series on Transformational Leadership to Accelerate the Energy Transition. His work integrates technical leadership, governance rigor, sustainability oversight, and coaching-informed leadership to help organizations strengthen judgment, resilience, and execution under pressure.
He currently serves on the boards of the ALS Society of Canada, Alberta Dreams, and the Society of Petroleum Engineers International Sustainable Development Technical Section. A London Business School Sloan Fellow, Warwick MBA graduate with Distinction, and DBA candidate researching Generative AI and board resilience, he brings boards a rare combination of operational depth, governance rigor, sustainability insight, and leadership perspective.
Mike has led complex technical and operational mandates across multiple international energy environments and is widely recognized for his practical, system-level understanding of how integrity capability influences asset performance and enterprise risk. He currently serves on the boards of the ALS Society of Canada, Alberta Dreams, and the Society of Petroleum Engineers International Sustainable Development Technical Section.
A London Business School Sloan Fellow, Warwick MBA graduate with Distinction, and DBA candidate researching Generative AI and leadership resilience, Mike brings a distinctive cross-disciplinary perspective that helps organizations strengthen well integrity capability before risk becomes loss.
