Why Choose this Training Course?

In the development of a hydrocarbon reservoir, many wells are drilled and required to be completed, to allow the structure to be depleted. However, the drilling and completion operations are crucial to the long-term viability of the wells in meeting the specified objectives. The design and completion of both production and injection wells are required to satisfy several objectives including:

Provision of optimum production/injection performance
Ensure safety
Maximize the integrity and reliability of the completion over the envisaged life of the completed well
Minimize the total costs per unit volume of fluid produced or injected, i.e.
Minimize the costs of initial completion, maintaining production and remedial

This PetroKnowledge training course will feature:

The main functions of completion
Developing a high-level completion strategy for wells in a variety of situations
Select tubing, packers, and completion flow control equipment
Understand different sand control techniques and their application

What are the Goals?

By the end of this PetroKnowledge training course, participants will be able to:

Evaluate for a given reservoir scenario the bottom hole completion options and make a recommendation based on well integrity and reservoir management requirements
Identify, evaluate and recommend functional capability of completion strings for a variety of situations
Describe the purpose and generic operating principles for major completion equipment components
Identify limitation of well completion schematically designs and potential failure mechanisms/operational problems with equipment
Assess well safety requirements and capabilities inherent in well design
Describe the integration of the various stages of completing a well
List and flow chart a general procedure to run a completion string
Describe the requirements to pressure test and retain well control throughout the completion process
Define the need for full and accurate reporting and records to be kept

Who is this Training Course for?

This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

Asset Managers
Petroleum Engineers
Production Technologists
Production Personnel (Production Operators, Maintenance Supervisors)
Drilling and Well Servicing Personnel (Drilling Manager, Drilling/Well Engineers, Completion and Well Service Engineers, Drilling Supervisors, Rig Manager, Toolpusher, Drillers)

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This PetroKnowledge Advanced Well Completion Design training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative.

Organisational Impact

The organisation will gain, in sending their employees to attend this PetroKnowledge training course, the following:
