Course Summary

In the development of reservoir, an outsized variety of wells are drilled and need to be completed, to permit the structure to be depleted. However, the drilling and completion operations are crucial to the long run viability of the wells in meeting the desired objectives. The completion of each production and injection wells are needed to satisfy variety of objectives including:

  • Provision of optimum production / injection performance
  • Ensure safety
  • Maximize the integrity and dependability of the completion over the envisaged lifetime of the well
  • Minimize the full prices per unit volume of fluid produced or injected
  • Minimize the prices of initial completion, maintaining production and remedial measures

Primarily during this GLOMACS training course, we will focus on issues related to the completion string design new technology in addition to well interventions tools.

This GLOMACS training course will feature: 

  • Develop a high-level completion strategy for wells in a very sort of things
  • Select string, packers, and completion flow management instrumentality
  • Best practices of completion string design and installation
  • Discuss cases of using new technology in normal completion and sand control completions
  • Appraise well control barrier philosophy and testing during well interventions
