Advanced Production Operations For Oil & Gas

Advanced Production Operations For Oil & Gas

Description :

The rapidly increasing worldwide demand for natural gas as an energy source requires expertise in gas engineering technology. Incorporating a balance between theory and application, course emphasis is on training participants for immediate application of acquired techniques to field problems.

Production is defined as the operations involved in bringing well fluids to the surface and preparing the fluids for transport to a refinery via pipelines or trucks. The first step in production is to start the well fluids flowing to the surface (called "well completion"). Well servicing and workover consists of performing routine maintenance operations (such replacing worn or malfunctioning equipment) and performing more extensive repairs, respectively. Well servicing and workover are an intermittent step and necessary to maintain the flow of oil and gas. Next, the fluid must be separated into its components of oil, gas, and water; stored; and treated (for purification), measured, and tested before being transported to the refinery.

This training will provide the principle and yet some practical and theoretical aspect that can be applied on daily work faced by production engineers and supervisor in the oil industry.

Objectives :

All aspects of completions are covered in sufficient detail to permit participants to review his/her current practices The fundamental concepts of production operations and their proper application in the field Production equipment such as wellhead, tubing and packers, well completions and workover as well as well test and problems, production logging and cementing will also covered Production logs and how and when to use them; evaluation techniques for cement bond logs and pulse echo tools
-Learn how to plan and implement well completions, workovers, stimulation treatments, and routine production operations with an efficiency that increases profits
-Learn about the role of rock mechanics in completions, stimulation, and workovers
-Be able to give suggest or discover the procedures and techniques that increase production and cut operating costs
-Be Able to identify and implement production improvement opportunities that can be carried out by either rig or non-rig well interventions
-Implementation of appropriate technology, either from internal or external sources, in well design, whilst ensuring that the well value is maximized
