WELL COMPLETION AND WORKOVER

COURSE OVERVIEW & LEARNING OUTCOMES

This 5-day course covers the subject and best practices in Well Completions and Workover.  It emphasizes important design elements to illustrate the parameters put into considerations in completing a well and the inherent risks and uncertainty in completion practices.  It also teaches the principles of well workover; why and when it is required, planning and executing a workover project in a safe and sustainable way.  This course focus on the use of design examples, industry case studies and videos to buttress theory being taught.  Because most participants work for operators, emphasis is placed on making them better representatives and managers of drilling and work-over projects through planning, operational scheduling and safety regulations.

  • Develop an appreciation for well completion and work over technologies.

  • Articulate completion strategy for wells in a drilling program

  • Appreciate the reservoir to surface facility connection and be able to select tubing, packers, and completion flow control equipment to enhance this holistic outlook.

  • Identify key design and planning considerations for well completions and interventions  

  • Identify symptoms of formation damage, assess and proffer remediation measures

  • Become better company drill site representative and improve management of drilling/workover contractors and drilling program
