DE0128 : Gas Lift & ESP Operations & Optimization

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes reallife 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 Gas Lift and ESP Operations and Optimization. It covers the artificial lift methods, gas lift and ESP; the advantages and disadvantages of each method; the factors to consider when selecting an artificial lift method; the gas lift and ESP design principles and system integration; the tubing size, injection pressure, and injection depth; the gas lift and ESP optimization techniques; troubleshooting common gas lift problems and ESP problems; the advantages and disadvantages of different integration methods; the monitoring and control techniques for artificial lift systems; and the types of sensors used to monitor gas lift and ESP performance. During the interactive course, participants will learn the control strategies to optimize production and reduce downtime; the downhole equipment used in gas lift and ESP systems; the best practices for installation and maintenance of downhole and surface equipment; troubleshooting common downhole and surface problems; the safety considerations, environmental considerations, regulatory requirements and compliance; the emerging technologies and techniques for artificial lift, including digitalization and automation; the optimization techniques to increase efficiency and production; the best practices for field development planning, including reservoir modelling and production forecasting; and the economic analysis of artificial lift projects.
