Drilling and Completion Technology Course
Introduction:
The drilling and completion technologist’s mission is to design, construct, operate and maintain any well, so that it is safe for use from spud to abandonment, delivering maximum value to the business. Production Technology is the discipline that integrates subsurface and surface in the oil and gas upstream industry. Traditionally, Production Technologists are known as “Well Doctors”, as their focus area is well. However, their remit extends from the reservoir, through the well into the production system and export. Over the years, the Production Technologist has taken center stage in the development of Well, Reservoir and Facility Management and Production Optimisation.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this training course, participants will learn to:
- Define the role of the Production Technology function in the oil and gas business
- Describe the essential components of the Production Technology discipline
- Explain how the basic applications of Production Technology tools and techniques work
- Apply the fundamentals of Well Completion Design
- Describe how to maximize oil and gas production and recovery
