Course Objective

The course objective for "Subsurface – Lower Completion" is to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of the pivotal role played by lower completion techniques in oil drilling. By the end of this course, attendees will possess the knowledge and skills needed to optimise reservoir productivity, ensure efficient fluid flow, and enhance oil recovery during the final phase of well construction.

Course Content

MODULE 1 – Wellbore clean out topic specifically related to deepwater floater rig (big marine riser section)

MODULE 2 – Lower completion tools (gravel packing) and surface pumping topics specifically related to deepwater floater rig

MODULE 3 – Overview of hazards associated with deepwater and cold environment impact on completion fluid selection (pressurized crystallization temperature, hydrates concern)

Audience

Invaluable for production, operations, and integrity professionals involved in implementing & managing well integrity and seeking to improve performance. It is also essential for those who need to develop and implement such systems, or who require an understanding of well integrity management.

This micro VILT will also provide a fresh approach for senior professionals and managers. Designed for professionals in the oil and gas industry who are involved in the design, construction and operation of wells from the following disciplines:

Production maintenance
Production operations
Drilling engineering
Safety engineering
Well intervention
Well integrity engineering
Asset management

Prerequisite

A basic understanding of drilling and completion principles and some industry exposures are desirable for participants before enrolling in this course. However, this course can be adapted to meet the needs of all attendees.
