COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies 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 completion design practices and perforation. It covers the basic well completion design, practices and strategies; developing a high level completion strategy for wells in a variety of situations; the packer selection and tubing forces; the selection of tubing, packers and completion flow control equipment; the wellheads/chokes/subsurface safety valves and flow control equipment; and the appraisal/designing a suitable flow barrier strategy and suitable intervention strategy. 

 

Further, this course will also discuss the recommendations on installation and retrieval practices for tubing, packers, etc. in different well types; the corrosion and erosion inflow and tubing performance; the tubing design, packer setting, retrieval and material selection; the key design features for horizontal, multilateral, HPHT wells, etc; the deviated/multiple zone/ subsea/horizontal/multilateral and HPHT completion considerations; the selection of an appropriate intervention strategy/equipment; and the key features/applicability of the main sand control, fracpack and well stimulation options. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the fluids chemicals and acidizing techniques, sandstone acidizing and carbonates acidizing; the well candidates for stimulation; the perforation process, factors affecting charge performance and perforating techniques; the types of guns, perforating damage pressure, control equipment and safe rig up; how to assess/specify concerns/remedial measures for formation damage/skin; the wireline/coiled tubing/snubbing operations; developing and outline overall strategy for a completion program; and the HSE related issues.
