Artificial Lift
Disciplines: Production and Operations
Course Description
This course will help develop a solid foundation in all forms of lift and the concepts of the selection process to maximize production and return on investment.
Topics:
- Advantages and limitations of each system
- Application considerations
- Sample performance predictions
Learning Level
Introductory (Half Day) or Intermediate (1 Day)
Course Length
Half Day or 1 Day (The course length may be adjusted to meet the learning level of the target audience.)
Why Attend
This class helps ensure a broad view of artificial lift, particularly when in-house expertise is limited to one-or two-lift systems.
Who Attends
This course is for production and field operations engineers, junior and senior petroleum engineers and field technicians as well as geoscientists and reservoir engineers who wish to understand the implications of production systems on their field reservoirs.
CEUs
.4 or .8 CEUs (Continuing Education Units) are awarded for this half-day or 1-day course.
Cancellation Policy
All cancellations must be received no later than 14 days prior to the course start date. Cancellations made after the 14-day window will not be refunded. Refunds will not be given due to no show situations.
