Online Gas Lift System Training

DESCRIPTION

This course covers the design, operation, diagnosis and optimisation of gas lift systems including a review of gas lift equipment, valve operation and the unloading process. You will gain an appreciation of the key concepts involved in the application of gas lift methods and a practical understanding of their operation and optimisation. Well modelling software will be used to illustrate design and troubleshooting applications while network modelling software will illustrate gas lift gas allocation and field wide optimisation techniques.

Course Structure: 12 modules of 1½ hours each, delivered over 4 days

Each day will consist of 3 modules, split into units of 1½ hours, with multiple breaks.

DESIGNED FOR YOU, IF YOU ARE…

  • Petroleum engineering or field staff involved in the selection, design, operation or troubleshooting of gas lift systems

HOW WE BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE

  • Combination of live instructor-led training coupled with self-directed learning, live Q&A sessions and group discussions
