Interventions Operations – Well Site Supervisor

This course is part of the Track 1: Well Site Supervisor Development Program. Well Site Supervisor Development Program - Track 1. Well interventions typically fall into three categories: 1) Fix an existing problem and restore access to the existing completion, 2) Change the upper completion to align with current inflow performance, or 3) Salvage the wellbore above the existing completion to re-complete to another take-point in the existing reservoir or access recoverable reserves in a different reservoir. At least two-thirds of the competencies associated with drilling and initial completion are directly transferable to all well intervention options. There are unique cased hole logging and downhole equipment specific to a particular option. Wireline conveyed, and coiled tubing is more prevalent on well interventions and possible snubbing operations. Some problems that are routine to well interventions don’t exist before the initial completion, including scale, extensive corrosion, and wall loss due to tripping operations, paraffin, asphaltenes, hydrates, and other production byproducts. This unit can be easily adapted for a stand-alone presentation focused on the intervention options used in a specific region/well-type if there is a critical mass of participants. A total of 25 hours are included in this course with 11 hrs eLearning and 14 hrs virtual instructor-led sessions.
