The invention provides a system and computer program for identifying the depth of leaks in well casing strings after receiving temperature-depth data from a thermally conditioned well. Upon receiving the data, the system calculates moving average temperature gradients over a specified length of the casing. It then computes the mean and standard deviation of these gradients to determine a lower control limit (LCL) using a predefined formula. The system identifies leak depths by locating gradients below the LCL. The computer program generates control charts, visual alerts, and detailed reports to facilitate leak detection, offering a streamlined and effective approach to well integrity assessment.
