Advanced Completion Engineering

Introduction:

Proper and effective well completion design and implementation are the keys to achieving maximum recovery in the most economical and safe manner. Another equally important aspect of optimizing production is the ability to identify the causes of production impairment or deficiency and properly select, design and implement remedial workover operations. This course provides the candidates with the knowledge needed to effectively select, design and implement well completions and workover operations. They will learn how to make the most effective selection of well completions for various conditions. The various types of subsurface completion, production and control equipment and their functions and selection criteria will be covered. Tubing design and selection procedure will be discussed and they will be familiarized with the different types of completion and workover fluids, their properties and selection criteria. The course will then cover the descriptions, design considerations and implementation procedures of typical completion and workover operations such as perforating, remedial cementing, sand control and matrix stimulation.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

  • Develop a high level completion strategy for wells in a variety of situations
  • Select tubing, packers, and completion flow control equipment
  • Appraise and design a suitable flow barrier strategy
  • Make recommendations on installation and retrieval practices for tubing, packers, etc.
  • Identify key design for horizontal, multilateral, HPHT wells, etc.
  • Select an appropriate intervention strategy and equipment
  • Identify key features and applicability of the main sand control, fracpack and well stimulation options
  • Assess & specify concerns/remedial measures for formation damage & skin removal
  • Develop and outline overall strategy for a completion program

Who Should Attend?

Petroleum Engineers, Production Engineers, Well Completion Engineers, Workover Engineers, Operation and Reservoir Engineers, Operations Managers and Supervisors, Production Personnel, Drilling Supervisors, Hoist Supervisor, Well Services Engineers, Site Drilling Engineers and Project Engineers
