ABOUT THE COURSE
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 will start with Multi-Phase Flow and NODAL Analysis and how to compare and select the correct artificial lift system. A thorough understanding on the principles, applications, design and operational issues on the artificial lift system will be provided. Delegates will also learn through case studies and exercises every training day to gain practical knowledge from the
trainer’s past experiences. Besides designing, the delegates will also learn to analyze the cost when selecting the artificial lift system. Furthermore, the course will cover the advanced artificial lift systems currently available. The delegates will gain knowledge on the advantages and disadvantages of each type of the advanced artificial lift system
