Course Description

This course will cover expressions, axioms, and basic calculations regularly utilized by Production Techs. Emphasis is upon proven technology required to effectively develop and operate an asset in a multi discipline development environment. Practical application of technology will be emphasized. Both theory and actual field examples and well completion programs will be studied along with class problems, exercises, and videos. Analysis examples to assess well performance will be set up. Well completion equipment and tools will be viewed and discussed. Participants will work several exercises such as basic artificial lift designs, acidizing programs, gravel pack designs, and fracturing programs. The course presumes a general engineering or scientific background. It requires some basic knowledge of completion and production technology. It combines a review of the fundamental concepts of the subjects covered together with their practical application.
 

Course Goal

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to gain more advanced aspects of completion technology, specifically in artificial lift.
 

Course Objectives

By the end of this course, participant will be able to:

• Apply and integrate production technology principles for oilfield project development.
• Choose basic well completion equipment configurations.
• Perform system analyses to optimize well tubing design and selection.
• Perform basic artificial lift designs.
• Apply the latest shale gas and oil extraction technologies.
• Design basic sand control gravel pack completions.
• Evaluate well candidate selection to conduct a hydraulic fracturing campaign.
• Apply new production technology advances for smart well completions.

Who Can Benefit

• Exploration and production technical professionals 
• Petroleum production and operation engineers who are already familiar with the basic completion processes but have a need to extend their area of understanding to cover more advanced aspects; 
• Production Staff
• Engineers from disciplines other than Production Technology etc.
