Training Certificate

Prolific Consultants FZE Certificate of Course Completion will be issued to all attendees.

Course 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. 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,  work-over operations, 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. 

Course Objective

• Review the basics of geology of the suitable rocks for favourable deposition of hydro-carbons
•  Understanding the basics of drilling technology.
• In depth study of the well completion and various modes of testing .
