This course will cover well performance and productivity. Specific topics that will be covered include, well inflow and outflow performance, NODAL analysis, well surveillance, and problem diagnostics. Participants will also learn about productivity enhancement by stimulation, work over, sand management, corrosion control, and artificial lifting.
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
- Learn about well performance and productivity.
- Know reservoir types and performance, as well as perforating and productivity will also be discussed.
- Learn about well inflow and outflow performance and the total well (nodal) system analysis.
- Focus on well surveillance and problem well identification.
- Learn about production logging applications and techniques, electric and slickline surveys, and the sources and causes of productivity impairment at different stages of well drilling.
- Learn about sand production, control, and productivity effects along with water production, control, and productivity effects will also be covered.
- Learn about the different types of productivity enhancements including well intervention, matrix stimulation, and hydraulic fracturing.
- Discuss productivity enhancements as well as well controls.
- Discuss tubing techniques, work over (rig), sand management, corrosion monitoring and control and the control of paraffins, asphaltenes, and hydrates.
- Learn about scale deposition, control, and removal.
