Initial Completions and Well Testing Operations – Well Site Supervisor

This course is part of the Track 1: Well Site Supervisor Development Program. Well Site Supervisor Development Program - Track 1. Wells are drilled to capture data on the presence of hydrocarbons and/or provide access to commercial quantities of hydrocarbons, whether the reservoir is conventional or unconventional. With the development of unconventional reservoirs, the percentage of costs spent in the completion phase can often exceed half the total cost of the well, which rarely occurs in conventional wellbores. From a Wells perspective, there is a significant percentage of shared competencies for wellsite supervisors from the drilling phase (over half) with completion wellsite supervisors. There is a significant component of competencies specific to the type of completion needed for the reservoir system to process the rock for recoverable reserves. This unit focuses on those particular accretive competencies aligned with the range of completion options available under the company’s portfolio. The focus is on implementing a detailed design tailored to the reservoir rock's permeability and porosity. Like the unit on casing and cementing, this unit is focused on ensuring the “as is” installed completion aligns with the basis of design assumptions before the well was spud. This unit can be easily adapted for a stand-alone presentation focused on the completion options used in a specific region/well type if there is a critical mass of participants. A total of 35 hours are included in this course with 23 hrs eLearning and 12 hrs virtual instructor-led sessions.
