Training Certificate

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

Course Introduction

This course is primarily designed for drilling, production and completion engineers and supervisors needing a practical understanding and an appreciation of well completion design and operation, well stimulation and work over planning. It explains how completion configurations are varied to meet well objectives and to maximize well productivity. Design concepts and methods are presented together with downhole tools and their selection criteria.
 

Completion types and design for vertical, horizontal and multilateral wells, design and optimization of tubing based on tubing performance analysis (Inflow performance analysis, liquid and gas hold up during fluid flow and forces on tubing), downhole equipment, tubing accessories, wellhead equipment including completion. Also fluid flow through perforations and perforation techniques; communication tests; wireline operations; reservoir stimulation; and hydraulic fracture treatment design and optimization are extensively reviewed. Local case studies are also provided.
 

This course is talking in details about casing, tubing accessorise and completion types. Also completion equipment design, operations and well productivity. To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to understand well completion technology.

Course Objective

• Enhance the participant’s knowledge skills to understand the well completion.
• Improve the awareness of types wells completions, operations and    subsurface equipment
• Apply the latest techniques in well completion design and operation
• Optimize tubing dimensions for maximum production and estimate the pressure losses in tubing for different rock & fluid properties
• Use different subsurface completion equipments and accessories and select packers and packer settings
• Operate the well head equipments properly and calculate geometries and dimensions casing and tubing hangers
• Identify the different special consideration for horizontal and multilateral completions on wellbore, tubing and casing configuration
• Recognize the components of perforation of oil and gas wells such as completion fishing operations, well stimulation and fracturing, well testing, and well integrity
• Carryout the various procedures of communication tests
• Practice the process of wireline operations
• Discuss the elements of reservoir stimulation and increase the knowledge in understanding of stress and rock properties involved in the simulation techniques

Suitable For

This course is designed for Oil filed Technologists, project managers, plant managers, plant supervisors, Production Supervisors, technical staff, Operators and Technicians and contractor personnel involved in the production of oil and natural gas. The greatest benefit arises from discussing the underlying principles of the various processes and the cause of the common operating problems. You will also be able to see which processes are available to you to de-bottleneck or modify existing processes. The practical techniques and examples provide useful insights that are valuable in daily operations. Participants are encouraged to introduce any operating problems they have encountered for group discussion.

Training Methodology

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 find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

Very useful Course Materials will be given.

• 30% Lectures
