About
Downhole Remediation for Mature Oil and Gas Wells is presented from a practical point of view. Discussions include decision processes for selection, design, and application of methods that are supported by field experiences and research results. Principal focus is production-related near wellbore damage and remedial water control practices.
"Enjoyed learning the chemistry, physics behind many common industry practices and best practices." - Petroleum Engineer, United States
Target Audience
Asset managers, drilling and completion engineers, petroleum engineers and geologists, independent producers, production managers and engineers, reservoir managers and engineers, field supervisors, company executives and officials, field personnel with operating and service companies.
You Will Learn
Participants will learn how to:
- Diagnose and develop removal and prevention techniques for wellbore damage due to scale, paraffin, asphaltenes, corrosion, and erosion
- Understand sources, causes, and effects of water production
- Design remediation applications (both mechanical and chemical) for reducing excess water production
- Design sand control applications and understand how to fix damaged screens and gravel packs
- Understand how and when to apply remedial cementing practices and what tools and job considerations are critical
- Apply these techniques to a specific well problem that you bring into the classroom from your current field assignment
