Design and Optimization of Artificial Lift Systems
Disciplines: Production and Operations
Course Description
This course is an in-depth look at artificial lift, specifically for wells using continuous-flow gas lift or electrical submersible pumps (ESPs). The course can also be modified for a 5-day exclusive ESP training program with hands-on problem solving using SubPUMP software. In either case, there are plenty of class problems to solve in the workshops, and problem scenarios from the attendees are always welcome.
Topics:
- Understanding production systems
- The role of artificial lift in optimizing production
- Analysis and trouble shooting of continuous-flow gas lift systems
- The ESP, with detailed pump, motor, cable and shroud designs
- Handling of gas and solids
Learning Level
Intermediate to Advanced
Course Length
5 Days
Why Attend
The instructor for this course draws on 40 years of experience in the business. By the end of the week, you’ll have a firm grasp of ESP and gas lift systems.
Who Attends
This course is for engineers who are involved in oil production and the design, maintenance and optimization of artificial lift, especially electrical submersible pump and continuous-flow gas lift systems.
