Overview Discussion Provider

The class will be cover the following topics: Pressure effects in the wellbore and how to maximise production Well inflow performance, models and sensitivities Basic fluid properties (PVT) Nodal analysis methodology Data validation and knowing what data to request Understand and apply multiphase tubing and pipe flow principles Effect of stimulation and artificial lift on production Overview of artificial lift methods Modelling artificial lift using Nodal Analysis techniques Simple methods to evaluate production benefit and economics The course will be highly practical and will feature lots of practical exercises to ensure that the class attendees can understand and communicate the key issues around well productivity. As part of the class attendees will have hands on opportunities to use Nodal Analysis software. Most Nodal Analysis schools are highly theoretical (and boring!) this class will be interesting, practical and results oriented.
