Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• A drilling, production or operations engineer, field supervisor, toolpusher, manager or technical support person

How we build your confidence

• You will receive instruction on well construction and completion based on existing case studies.
• The basic applications and calculation for tubing selection or packer forces are also covered in the course.
• A strong focus will be on the well completion components such as packers, nipples, tubing and their connections, gravel pack, etc.
• As an independent course, we offer the most complete overview of tubing connection selection.

The benefits from attending
