COURSE OVERVIEW

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 production engineering and operations. It covers the production system concepts, units and datums, reservoir fluid properties, PVT correlations and matching; the gas fluid properties using an EOS; the inflow and outflow performance concept, radial flow IPR and skin, holdup and slip, flow correlations and VLPs; and the pressure loss at surface, nodal analysis concepts, nodal analysis plot interpretation and artificial lift systems.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the gas lift key concepts, gas lift design and VLPs; the gas lift equipment and valve calculations; the gas lift diagnosis and ESP key concepts and performance curves; the ESP equipment, ESP design and sensitivities; the ESP operations, control and optimization, ESP diagnosis and runlife optimization; the PCP key concepts and performance curves; the PCP design and operation, artificial lift in unconventional reservoirs and production measurement; the production surveillance, production allocation, well integrity management and well intervention and sand control; the formation damage and stimulation methods; the production chemistry, flow assurance, surface production facilities and treatment; and the corrosion control and material selection.
