NODAL analysis views the total producing system as a group of components potentially encompassing reservoir rock/irregularities, completions (gravel pack, open/closed perforations, open hole), vertical flow strings, restrictions, multilateral and branches. It will identify bottle necks and serves as a framework for the design of efficient field wide flow systems, including wells, artificial lift, gathering lines and manifolds. Together with reservoir simulation and analytical tools, NODAL analysis is used in planning new field development.
Artificial lift plays a crucial role in Oil & Gas production, especially in mature oilfield. Artificial lift is not only accelerating the production, but also vital to the economic success of the overall development. Therefore, selecting and designing the appropriate artificial lift is important. After completing the course, the participants will possess and enhance the skill to select, design, plan, analyze and optimize the artificial lift system for offshore oilfield.
The course takes a practical approach to the applications of hydraulic fracturing. Fracturing technology benefits and limitations in all types of sandstone and carbonate reservoirs are explained. Fracture modeling is used as a tool to demonstrate how modeling software can be used effectively in practical applications. All aspects of the planning, designing, and implementation of fracturing treatments are covered. In addition to the technical presentation, the course contains many practical exercises and class problems based on case histories.
This course addresses the needs of engineers in both well completion and workover. It will focus on building the current foundation of engineers on completion and workover techniques, but will further provide practical exercises and industrial applications on the key decisions needed to be made during the completion and workover processes.
This course addresses various areas of gas lifting operations. It gives a complete look on the operational activities which will enable field operators to fully optimize even from systems selection, design, and installation. Moreover, the course will then focus on the techniques in achieving production optimization, specifically with continuous flow installations, monitoring, and run-life optimization. In order to achieve optimal
