Advanced Artificial Lift Systems Design, Diagnosis and Troubleshooting (PRE36)
18-21 November 2024 4 days Doha, QatarCourse Fee: 4950 USD
Description
This course covers the selection, design, diagnosis and troubleshooting of the major artificial lift methods (primarily ESPs and gas lift, although others will be considered) for both conventional and unconventional reservoirs. You will gain an appreciation of the key concepts involved in the analysis of artificial lift methods for challenging environments and a practical understanding of trend analysis and pattern recognition to solve operational problems. Well modelling software (Prosper) will be used by the instructor to illustrate design and troubleshooting techniques and applications with real field examples.

Designed for you, if you are...
- Petroleum engineering or field staff involved in the selection, design, operation or troubleshooting of artificial lift systems for standard or unconventional reservoir applications, particularly in challenging environments (deep, hot, gassy wells etc.).
How we build your confidence
This course ensures that fundamental concepts of artificial lift systems are well explained and clearly understood before progressing to the application of these concepts in difficult or complex well conditions. A clear and logical workflow will be explained so that diagnosis and troubleshooting become easy. This technique means that participants have a solid foundation to build a deep understanding of artificial lift systems and the confidence to apply the principles learned in challenging situations.The benefits from attending
