Introduction

This five day course is intended to cover different aspects of crude oil production right from the exploration stage. The course will cover exploration, drilling technology, various types of well completion and testing methods, artificial lift, reservoir pressure maintenance practices, work-over, well stimulation and production, storage, processing of crude oil. Deep-water Technology, being latest, is also included. The theory and practical aspects of geology, completion in horizontal and vertical well, multilateral wells, rig layout- components, various types of fluids used in drilling and work-over operations, enhanced oil recovery and various well stimulation techniques will be discussed.

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody to find the right answers. The delegates will also be encouraged to raise their own questions and share in the development of the right answers using their own analysis and experiences. 

Objective
·Review the basics of geology of the suitable rocks for favorable deposition of hydro-carbons
· Understanding the basics of drilling technology.
·In depth  study of the well completion and various modes of testing
·Production from depleted zones by means of suitable modes of Artificial Lift.
·Reservoir management
·Imparting knowledge of Well repair and damage control.
·Enhancement of oil production through suitable stimulation techniques.   
·Learn about surface production facilities.
·Highlight the frontier area of offshore technology including Deep Water.
Audience

This course is designed for Oil filed Technologists, project managers, plant managers, plant supervisors, Production Supervisors, technical staff, Operators and Technicians and contractor personnel involved in the production of oil and natural gas. The greatest benefit arises from discussing the underlying principles of the various processes and the cause of the common operating problems. You will also be able to see which processes are available to you to de-bottleneck or modify existing processes. The practical techniques and examples provide useful insights that are valuable in daily operations. Participants are encouraged to introduce any operating problems they have encountered for group discussion.

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
