Production Technology (Basic and Advanced Courses)
Who should attend?
Petroleum engineers and production supervisors, involved with day to day production operations, well design, well and field performance optimisation.
Overview:
An essential part of any field development or well test is the design and installation of a well completion. A good design allows efficient and safe production over a long period. Potential well problems should be catered for: vertical lift at changing water-cuts and reservoir pressures, sand production, corrosion by reservoir fluids. In addition, a large variety of operational well interventions should be allowed for: BHP surveys, stimulation, removal of deposits, well control by safety valve, killing, wireline and coiled tubing operations. During the course data gathering, interpretation and production planning are highlighted. Special attention is given to integrated field operations, in achieving a balanced reservoir/wells/surface facilities interplay, to ensure efficient reservoir drainage, optimum well performance and efficient separation of gas, oil and water.
At the end of the course, the participants should be able to propose a well design, define the selection parameters for completion components and prepare well completion or production operations programmes.
