Overview
This course provides focused training in design and performance evaluation of completed wells. It addresses practical requirements encountered in onshore oil wells requiring reliable flow and reservoir diagnostics. Participants explore the technical principles behind reliable decision-making and day-to-day execution. The learning experience uses relevant field examples, guided exercises and technical discussions. The program is intended for engineers, technical specialists, supervisors and related operational personnel. Content depth, case studies and delivery methods can be adapted to the client’s equipment, priorities and participant experience.
Objectives
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Identify main completion types and equipment.
- Relate completion choices to reservoir and fluid conditions.
- Explain pressure control and well barrier requirements.
- Plan basic production and pressure testing programs.
- Interpret introductory well test performance indicators.
- Recommend completion and testing improvements.
