Program Overview
It covers selection criteria, reservoir performance, economic analysis, and equipment design. Participants will gain hands-on experience using industry software and troubleshooting techniques, enabling them to optimize production and minimize downtime.
Program Outline
- Selection criteria
- Reservoir performance
- Artificial lift screening
- Economic analysis
- Rod pump, gas lift, and ESP equipment selection and design
- Best practices for each system
Teaching:
- **This course blends lecture, hands-on exercises, and seminar teaching styles to enhance learning.
- **Participants work with software that allows them to design and analyze artificial lift designs, which points the way to improved efficiency, higher production and less downtime due to failures.
- **Participants gain experience in solving problems by hand and also by using industry computer software.
- **Troubleshooting is an important part of artificial lift operations and several typical surveillance problems are solved.
- **The class includes pictures and videos of the most important equipment components being applied.
- **The course emphasizes techniques to maximize production.
- **New developments at various stages of application are also covered.
- **A discussion of modifications necessary for horizontal or unconventional wells is included for all methods of lift discussed.
- **Examples of how these techniques are being applied in producing unconventional wells are presented.
Other:
- Participants will learn how to:
- Apply techniques to maximize oil production economically with artificial lift systems
- Make basic PVT properties and inflow performance calculations related to artificial lift
- Understand and apply multiphase tubing and pipe flow principles
- **Select the appropriate artificial lift system by examining the drawdown potential of each method, the initial and operating expense and the range of production and depth possible with each method; special problems such as sand/scale/deviation etc.
- are discussed with each method
- Specify components and auxiliary equipment needed for each system
- Know what best practices are available to extend the life of equipment and installed lift systems
- Apply basic design and analysis concepts
- Design and operate system features for each method under harsh conditions
- Target Audience: Engineers, technicians, field supervisors, and others who select, design, install, evaluate, or operate artificial lift systems.
