An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Production Engineering
Design, Analyse and Optimise Wells and Production Systems
Course Introduction
The Production Engineering mission is to design, construct, operate and maintain any well, so that it is safe for use from spud to abandonment, delivering maximum value to the business. Production Engineering is the discipline that integrates subsurface and surface in the oil and gas upstream industry. Traditionally, Production Technologists are known as “Well Doctors”, as their focus area is the well. However, their remit extends from the reservoir, through the well into the production system and export. Over the years, the Production Engineering has taken centre stage in the development of Well, Reservoir and Facility Management and Production Optimisation.
This training course lays the foundation for Production Engineering, covering the essential components of the discipline, with theory, exercises and group work. In addition, we will cover the application of Production Engineering on Well Performance, Completion Design, Perforating, Artificial Lift, Stimulation, Sand Management, Well, Reservoir and Facility Management and Production Optimisation. The whole Production Engineering training course is highly interactive with opportunities for participants to share their experience and expertise. At the end of the Production Engineering training course, there is an opportunity to brainstorm and troubleshoot real issues, that participants have, which they can take back and apply their learnings to their wells and fields.
This Oxford Management Centre Production Engineering training course will highlight:
- The Role of the Production Engineering
- Essential components of the Production Engineering discipline
- The application of Production Engineering in the oil and gas business
- Fundamentals of well completion design
- How to maximise oil and gas production and recovery
Objectives
By the end of this Production Engineering training course, participants will learn to:
- Define the role of the Production Engineering function in the oil and gas business
- Describe the essential components of the Production Engineering discipline
- Explain how the basic applications of Production Engineering tools and techniques work
- Apply the fundamentals of well completion design
- Describe how to maximise oil and gas production and recovery
Training Methodology
Participants will engage in a highly interactive learning experience, with a blend of class room learning, exercises, group work and discussion. The instructor will apply a range of proven adult learning teaching and facilitation techniques, which will address participants’ learning preference styles. Active participation is essential, to share experiences and expertise of the tutor, as well as the participants. We can all learn from each other.
