About the course:

This course covers acceptable planning, techniques, and equipment for completion and stimulation of newly cased wells. Also covers planning, organizing, and supervising remedial and recompletion operations on old wells. This course emphasizes the role of engineers and field operators in planning and executing the Intervention Operations to maintain and increase field production and thus add to the profitability and recoverable reserves.

The course is highlighted with open discussions and problem solving shared by the instructor and participants.

First part of the course shall help the attendees to get introduced to, design philosophy, equipment, and resources (tools and consumables) used in completing the oil well along with the recommended operational sequence typically followed by the industry. Second part of the course will help attendees to get basic knowledge about the well intervention needs and techniques. Although the internship is ideal designed for engineers, it is not a pre requisite, and every attempt shall be made to include people from other educational backgrounds.

Learning objective:

To provide an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical and practical aspects of Well Intervention operations. At the end of the course delegates will learn about the many processes involved Well completion and well Intervention operations, equipment, how to plan a Well, and how to execute an operation.

Duration: 20+ hours
