Data Analytics for Artificial Lift


Disciplines: Data Science and Engineering Analytics | Production and Operations

Course Description

In this hands-on course, the participants will learn some of the techniques and workflows applied to artificial lift and production while reviewing code and practicing. The focus will be on the development of data-driven models while reviewing the underlying artificial lift principles.

After introducing data science and analytics techniques, the course will discuss some business use cases that are amenable to data-driven workflows. Two or three problems will be presented during the training. For each case there will be a demonstration of the solution of such a problem using a data analysis technique with Python code deployed in the Google-cloud. Then there will be an opportunity to solve the problems and tweak solution variables using a provided data set.

Learning Level

Intermediate

Course Length

1 Day

Why Attend

This course discusses use cases corresponding to artificial lift wells and related production facilities. The course is primarily intended for production and facilities engineers to enhance knowledge base, technology awareness and facility with different data analysis techniques that can be applied on large data sets. After completing the course, participants will have a set of tools and some pathways to analyze and manipulate their own data in the cloud, find trends, and develop data-driven models.

Who Attends

The course is primarily intended for production and facilities engineers to enhance your knowledge base, technology awareness and facility with different data analysis techniques that can be applied on large data sets.

CEUs

0.8 CEUs are awarded for this 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.
