Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of advanced artificial lift and optimization skills. It covers the wellperformance evaluation leading to determination of well conditions necessitating application of artificial lift. The various types of artificial lift systems along with their selection criteria as well as the theoretical and practical aspects of the most important artificial lift methods will be covered, so that at the end of the course the participants will have a sound knowledge of the theory underlying each method including a abroad view of the relative advantages, disadvantages, niche of applications and limitations of each artificial lift system. During this interactive course, participants will learn the basic PVT properties and inflow performance calculations related to artificial lift; the principles of multiphase tubing and pipe flow; the appropriate selection of artificial lift system; the comparison of systems to determine what system is most economically feasible; the specification of components and auxiliary equipment needed for each system; the classification of best practices to extend the life of equipment and installed lift systems; the basic design and analysis concepts; and the system features for gassy production, production with solids, viscous production, and for other harsh environments.
