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.
