Course Summary
Effective production technology is essential to maintaining a productive and safe operation for good use in the oil and gas industry. The well production system extends from the reservoir, where water for work is gathered, right up to the well itself, where product is exported for use.
Managing these facilities using a structured and strategic framework and action plan will reduce the workload, help keep the workforce safe from avoidable accidents, and increase the business's profit.
Production technologists, fondly known as ‘well Doctors, ’ will need to grow their expertise and experience in the foundations of well construction and management. They will need to understand the theory, science, and discipline surrounding wells to maximise the company's benefit and generate a higher return on investment.
The most important factors to consider are the good design and location, the stimulation of flow, sand management and the artificial lift generated by the facilities management team onsite.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the role of production technology in the oil and gas industries.
- Develop a structured framework for operational production.
- Design production technology that will have the largest return on investment for the company.
- Consider workflow management and how to keep the workforce safe.
- Maximising gains by using the most up-to-date and innovative technology.
- Gain a deeper understanding of industry best practices.
- Monitor risk areas and develop plans for business continuity if an incident occurs.
- Manage an incident end-to-end with health and safety in mind.
- Monitor the results and benchmark against other market leaders to keep production technology up-to-date and relevant.
- Describe the essential components of production technology and develop tools and techniques for best practice.
- Implement a business recovery plan to maximise gas and oil production.
This course is designed for anyone interested in developing knowledge in the production technology field within the gas and oil industry. It would be most beneficial for:
- Production Technologists
- Engineers
- Geoscientists & Petrophysicists
- Well Engineers
- Well Designers
- Facilities Management Personnel
- Surface Engineers
- Operational & Production Managers
- Business Owners
This course uses a variety of adult learning styles to maximise comprehension and understanding. It contains video demonstrations of appropriate well construction in different scenarios, discussing the benefits of each design. The participants will engage in group seminars and discussions regarding potential risk areas and generate a framework using techniques and tools to generate the most profit with a long-term vision while adhering to regulations and health and safety guidelines.
