About
This is an asset team course that introduces a broad array of essential daily Production Technology practices to team members. It covers terminologies, expressions, axioms, and basic calculations regularly used by Production Technologists. The course emphasizes proven technology required to effectively develop and operate an asset in a multidisciplinary development environment.
The practical application of technology is a key focus. Both theory and real-world field examples and well completion programs are studied, along with class problems, exercises, and videos. Nodal analysis examples are set up to assess well performance. Well completion equipment and tools are viewed and discussed. Participants engage in several exercises, such as basic artificial lift designs, acidizing programs, gravel pack designs, and fracturing programs. The course thoroughly explains the challenges of shale gas and oil development and presents horizontal and multilateral technology.
