Why should you attend?
Production Technology is an asset team course as it introduces a broad array of important daily Production Technology practices to team members. Terminologies, expressions, axioms, and basic calculations regularly utilized by Production Techs are covered throughout the course. Emphasis is upon proven technology required to effectively develop and operate an asset in a multidiscipline development environment.
Main Objectives:
- Apply and integrate production technology principles for oilfield project development
- Choose basic well completion equipment configurations
- Perform system analyses (Nodal Analysis) to optimize well tubing design and selection
- Perform basic artificial lift designs
- Understand the chemistry and execution of sandstone and carbonate acid jobs
- Design basic sand control gravel pack completions
- Evaluate well candidate selection to conduct a hydraulic fracturing campaign
- Maximize asset team interaction and understand the important dynamics between production technology and other team member disciplines
Learning Approach:
Both theory and actual field examples and well completion programs are studied along with class problems, exercises, and videos. Nodal analysis examples to assess well performance are set up. Well completion equipment and tools are viewed and discussed. Participants work several exercises such as basic artificial lift designs, acidizing programs, gravel pack designs, and fracturing programs. Horizontal and multilateral technology is presented.
When the discussed input corresponds to a participant’s discipline, he is invited to provide some insights to the group.
The course includes the use of computers with the 4 Microsoft standard programs, with one computer for each participant. All documents are provided.
HSE requirements:
No specific requirement for this course that can take place in any meeting room with validated HSE characteristics, in your company premises or elsewhere.
Course Program:
One week (35-40 hours) is the ideal time. The case can be shortened or lengthened according to the request.
