This course blends lecture, hands-on exercises, and seminar teaching styles to enhance learning. Participants work with software that allows them to design and analyze artificial lift designs, which points the way to improved efficiency, higher production and less downtime due to failures. Participants learn how to design and troubleshoot rod pumping, continuous gas lift, and electric submersible pump systems. Other methods such as PCP, plunger lift, jet pump, hydraulic pump, and intermittent gas lift are presented as viable AL techniques.
Participants gain experience in solving problems by hand and also by using industry computer software. Troubleshooting is an important part of artificial lift operations and several typical surveillance problems are solved. The class includes pictures and videos of the most important equipment components being applied. The course emphasizes techniques to maximize production. New developments at various stages of application are also covered. A discussion of modifications necessary for horizontal or unconventional wells is included for all methods of lift discussed. Examples of how these techniques are being applied in producing unconventional wells are presented. Distinct features of all lift methods are presented allowing the attendee to know how to select the best lift for well or field conditions.
Participants will learn:
Engineers, technicians, field supervisors, and others who select, design, install, evaluate, or operate artificial lift systems.
