Claim 0:
1. A method for monitoring an annulus pressure of a well, the method comprising:
performing periodic surveys to monitor an annulus pressure of the well;
determining the annulus pressure of the well over a period of time;
comparing the annulus pressure to a Maximum Allowable Wellhead Operating Pressure (MAWOP);
generating a decision on whether the well is a workover candidate well based on results of the comparison;
identifying, based on the comparison, that the annulus pressure is less than 100 psi;
generating the decision indicating that the well is not the workover candidate well;
storing information indicating that the annulus pressure is not the workover candidate well over the period of time; and
determining the annulus pressure over another period of time.
