DESIGNED FOR
Production technologists, petroleum engineers, production engineers, field operators, lifting executives, maintenance engineers
YOU WILL LEARN
• LEARN to optimize production through gas lift system design, analysis, and troubleshooting
• APPLY techniques in gas lift operations from beginning to end of operations
• MANAGE challenging environment faced by gas lifted wells
• OVERCOME the limitations and problems faced in applying these optimization techniques
• OPTIMIZE operations through understanding gas lifting’s role in the whole production system
• GAIN practical skills in valve mechanics and NODAL analysis
• INTEGRATE gas lift system best operation practices with production optimization
ABOUT THE COURSE
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
levels of production, NODAL analysis will be used in order to analyze and troubleshoot gas lifted wells. Hands-on class exercises and case studies will also be presented in order to test the participants’ application of the concepts learnt in the course into situational instances of field operations.
