Advanced Well Completion Design



Introduction:


This course provides in-depth information on the impact of workovers and completion design in maximizing field production and increasing recoverable reserves. It also emphasizes the importance of a team concept as a determining factor in operations success. Participants will gain a greater understanding of how to apply advanced technologies to designing and executing workover jobs, and how to select the best operations method to perform the task in the safest, most efficient manner. This training course will feature:

 

  • Develop a high level completion strategy for wells in a variety of situations
  • Select tubing, packers, and completion flow control equipment

Course Objectives:


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

 

  • Appraise/design a suitable flow barrier strategy and suitable intervention strategy
  • Make recommendations on installation and retrieval practices for tubing, packers, etc. in different well types
  • Identify key features/applicability of the main sand control, frac. pack and well stimulation options
