Course Overview:
Proper application of artificial lift technology to a loaded up offshore or inland water gas well can be one of the most profitable ventures that a company undertakes in its overall investment portfolio. The Sub Surface Safety Valve (SSSV) presents numerous challenges or eliminates altogether many of the conventional artificial lift techniques needed for deliquifying such gas wells. This one-day course is designed to give participants a review of the deliquification lift technologies and techniques specifically applicable for such wells. Weatherford's artificial-lift systems are unique within the oilfield service industry and cover all forms of technology for artificial lift; therefore, in addition to selling the products, we can also offer the best solution for operators' production needs. Using a combination of lectures, videos and demonstrations, we introduce participants to the basic concepts of gas well deliquification. The course is taught at the Weatherford's worldwide facilities by our qualified and experienced instructors.
Who Should Attend:
This course is designed to provide students and experienced engineers who are entering production operations with the knowledge necessary for professional growth. Well analysts, artificial lift analysts, production engineers and other technical personnel - who are interested in selection, design, and analysis of lift systems applicable to gas wells - will learn principles directly applicable to their job functions. Managers, engineers, operators and field technicians will expand their understanding of the effects of lift systems on liquid loaded gas wells.
