PRODUCTION OPERATIONS & OPTIMIZATIONS

ABOUT THE COURSE

The Production Operations  course represents the core foundation of PetroSkills’ production engineering course curriculum and is the foundation for future studies in the discipline. The participant will become familiar with past proven, and, newer technologies, procedures, and techniques to improve and increase oil, gas, and condensate production. The entire course structure applies a proven methodology, least cost, integrated methods approach that allows engineers to make careful and prudent business decisions. Production increase in maintenance could reduce downtime. Reduction down time automaticaly increase up time. Uptime used by operation to operation and maximaze production. This course will lead participants how to develop plan for uptime and operation effectiveness.

6. Utilize alternate well intervention techniques of applied wireline operations and coiled tubing methods
7. Recognize harsh well producing environments leading to potential corrosion and erosion failure, scale formation, and related downhole deposits
8. Choose proper wellbore completion and workover fluids, fluid solids control, and fluids filtration standards and best practice methods
9. Distinguish the characteristics and types of mechanical artificial lift systems
10. Ascertain why and how formations become damaged and how to interpret, prevent, and correct reservoir damage
11. Collect data to categorize options to choose an optimum well stimulation plan
12. Understand the causes of and the best approach to managing sand production
13. Understand how to properly acidize a carbonate or a sandstone reservoir
14. Understand the proper use and effects of surfactants and their presence in the oilfield in order to benefit from their use and avoid problems mis-application
15. Manage organic paraffin and asphaltene field deposits in tubing and surface facilities
16. Understand modern fracture stimulation and productivity improvement
17. Choose proven technology for cased hole production logging tools and interpretation methods
