Introduction

The course is designed to provide comprehensive information on all aspects of the well performance analysis, production system component, artificial lifting systems, and production enhancement techniques including well monitoring and surface equipment for the wellhead and flow line. The course will be conducted by lecturers and attendees will be actively encouraged to participate. The course content will be fully illustrated with actual data of good completion and operations cases to aid understanding and help to overcome any difficult problems. Comprehensive course notes will be provided, which will form a valuable source of reference afterward.

Objective

After completing this course, the participants will have:

• Fully understanding of the production system component
• Fully understanding of the produced fluid's properties
• Basic understanding of artificial lifting equipment and theory
• Well-head and flow line construction and monitoring
• Subsurface and surface safety valves
• Important parameters during well shut-in and flowing conditions to improve the well’s performance

Audience

This course is designed for production technologists, production engineers, well intervention and completion engineers and supervisors, project managers, production supervisors, technical staff, operators, technicians, and contractor personnel involved in the production of oil and natural gas.

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.

Fees

$5,250 per attendee including training material/handouts, morning/afternoon coffee breaks, and Lunch.
