Introduction

The course is designed to provide comprehensive information’s to all aspects of the wellhead, christmas tree, safety valves and flowline. The course will be conducted as lecturers and attendeeswill be actively encouraged to participate. The course content will be fullyillustrated with actual data of wellhead and saftey valves to aidunderstanding and help to overcome any difficult problems. Comprehensive course notes will be provided, which will form a valuable source of referenceafterwards.

Objective

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

Fully understanding of the well and wellhead construction
Fully understanding of the standard specification and testing
The ability to conduct the operation of Xmas Tree
The safety rules during dealing with Xmas Tree valves and change out
The ability to take the necessary corrective action when there is a problem with full understanding of the necessary well integrity aspects
Fully understanding of surface and subsurface saftey valves and chokes
The experience to deal with flow line selection, protection and flow assurance problems

Audience

This course is designed for production technologists, production engineers, reservoir and completion engineers, wellhead specialists, project managers, plant managers, plant supervisors, production supervisors, technical staff, operators, technicians and contractor personnel involved in the production of oil and natural gas.

The greatest benefit arises from discussing of the common operating problems related to wellhead, saftey valves and flowlines. This subject is suitable for most of the technical stuff within oil and gas operations. It represent the link between dowhole and surface operations.
