About the Course

Be introduced to key concepts, integrated technology, and the broad spectrum of topics comprising production technology. Profitable operations demand completion and production techniques be adapted to local conditions. Take advantage of the optimal procedures taught by an experienced production technology expert and improve the efficiency of your production operations. This course has been given by the instructor over the past two decades and has become a standard training program for the petroleum industry. It reflects current technology trends and the instructor’s extensive field experience.

Duration

The course is normally of 5 days duration but can be taught either as a compressed version or as a series of sequential modules.

Who Should Attend

Geologists, Reservoir Engineers, Production Engineers, Service Company personnel, and staff requiring an introduction to the subject and an appreciation of how their area of responsibility interfaces with production technology

You Will Learn

• An appreciation of the integrated nature of the production system and flow processes from reservoir through wellbore to surface
