To Date: 04-Oct-2024
Duration
5 days
Language
ENGLISH
Discipline
DRILLING & RESERVOIR
Introduction

This 5-day course emphasizes the role of engineers and field operators in planning and executing Artificial Lift Operations to optimize field production in  oil fields and thus add to the profitability and recoverable reserves. It also emphasizes the significance of the team concept as a factor in optimizing operations success. The course is highlighted with open discussions and problem solving shared by the instructor and participants.

 

By the end of this course, attendees will have a working knowledge of the industry’s advanced technologies in field of designing and installing artificial lift systems in their respective heavy oil operations. They will have knowledge of selecting the appropriate type of Artificial Lift for a heavy oil production.

Objective

To provide an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of Artificial Lift optimization in Oil Production. At the end of the this course delegates will learn about the different Artificial Lift systems used in oil production, and how to design an Artificial Lift system, and how to install a system.

  • Production Engineers and managers.
  • Reservoir engineers.
  • Completion and Workover Engineers
  • Feld maintenance supervisors and operators.
  • Service companies and equipment manufacturing engineers.
  • Safety engineers and personnel selected by their companies for attending special training courses.
