DESIGNED FOR

Technical, field, service, support and supervisorypersonnel desiring to gain an introductory overviewof these topics and how they interrelate. Excellent

for cross-training of other technical disciplinessuch as reservoir and surface facility engineersplus geoscientists, and anyone who interacts withdrilling, completion or workover design engineerssuch as technical supervisors and technicalservice personnel.

This is not a fundamental course for trainingengineers seeking a career in drilling or workovers(for these, PO1 is recommended).

YOU WIL L LEARN

• How drilling, completing and reworking a wellaffects its ability to produce

• What can be done within open-hole and casedwells, as a part of reservoir management

• How drilling practices can damage or stimulateproducing wells

ABOUT THE COURSE

This course gives a technical overview of thescience and art of drilling operations, completionpractices and post-completion wellboreenhancement or remedial workover techniques (wellintervention). It develops an understanding of theWHAT, WHY, and HOW of each of these areas ofengineering practice. Reservoir Engineers will learnwhat can be done within open-hole and cased wellsas they execute reservoir management. Drilling andcompletion personnel will learn how the producingreservoir can be damaged or stimulated by whatthey do. The participants learn to visualize what ishappening “downhole”, discover what can beaccomplished and gain an appreciation for wellborerisks and the possibility of damage to the formation;and how drilling and completion practices can alterreservoir interpretation and performance. Theparticipant will become conversant with specifictechnical terminology and aware of practicalapplications, which should enhance communicationand interaction between disciplines.

COURSE CONTENT

• Overview of workover techniques -stimulation application; formation and sand control;and more • Overview of the completion process - zonal

isolation; tubing, packers and completionequipment; and more • Overview of the drilling process - language ofdrilling; reservoir rock and fluid properties; andmore

DE S I GN E D F OR

Engineers, engineering trainees, technicalmanagers and assistants, technicians, geologists,geophysicists, chemists, physicists, service

company personnel, sales representatives, anddata processing personnel.

YOU WIL L LE ARN

• Basic petroleum geology• Reservoir fluid and rock properties• Fundamentals of reservoir fluid flow• Oil and gas reservoir classification, definition,

delineation and development• Unconventional gas (“tight shale” gas)• Fundamentals of drilling, well completion, and

production operations• Basics of casing design and primary cementing• Primary and enhanced recovery mechanisms• Surface operations

ABOUT THE COURSE

This course is far more than an introduction to petroleum

engineering and certainly is not a superficial presentationof the technology of the industry. Its purpose is todevelop an understanding of the technology and its

applications at an engineer’s level, and the confidenceand professional enthusiasm which comes with that

understanding. The course has had a revolutionary effecton training programs for many major oil and servicecompanies by making specialized training that follows far

more effective. Participants enter those specializedprograms with a depth of understanding of that particular

technology and relation to other classic and newtechnologies of the industry. The course focuses on thefield and application approach, and includes classroom

exercises, fundamental engineering problems, and basic

field exercises. Basic Petroleum Engineering Practiceswill set the foundation for technical professionals withregards to technology and its engineering applications.The course starts out with a brief introduction of the

history and current state of the oil and gas industry. Next,reservoir fluids, petroleum geology, and petroleumreservoirs are discussed. Then, various facets of

exploration technology, drilling engineering andoperations, well completion technology, and production

technology are covered before finishing with surfaceprocessing of produced fluids.

COURSE CONTENT

Reservoir fluid properties • Petroleum geology• Reservoir properties and evaluation • Unconventional

gas (“tight shale” gas) • Exploration technology

• Drilling engineering • Well completion, stimulation andworkover • Well testing and formation damage• Production operations

DESIGNED FOR

Petroleum and production engineers, completionengineers, geoscientists, managers, technicalsupervisors, service and support personnel, entry

level drilling engineers, drilling operations personnel,drilling office support staff.

YO U WILL LEA RN

• About drilling equipment and how it is used• Drilling terminology and abbreviations• Keys to planning a successful well• Common drilling problems and how to avoid them• How to read a morning report• Technology behind information in a morning report

AB OUT THE COURSE

Equipment and procedures involved with drilling oil andgas wells are described for those who are interested inunderstanding the drilling process regardless of theacademic background. During the first day, the overalldrilling process is presented along with definitions and

descriptions of drilling equipment. During the remainderof the week, the various components are discussed ingreater detail with explanations of the basic scienceconcepts which guide these processes. Subjectsinclude descriptions of drill bits, directional drilling,drilling fluids, solids control, cementing, casing, wellbore stability, well control, measurement-while-drillingtechniques, stuck pipe, lost circulation, and well borehydraulics. Some technology enhancements areincluded to improve understanding of drilling operationsfor all participants, with or without a sciencebackground. An understanding of clay mineralogy helpsunderstand well bore instability and drilling fluids. Adiscussion of pressure and pressure effects helpsexplain many of the procedures and problemsassociated with drilling wells. Rocks behave differently

under pressure and understanding this behavior helpsunderstand drilling performance. The art and science ofdrilling are explained in simple terms.

After all of the various components and procedures arediscussed, the information contained in morning reportsis explained and used as a summary of the coursecontent.

COURSE CONTENT

• The overall drilling process and equipment • Thelanguage of drillers – understanding their terminology• Understanding the abbreviations and acronymsassociated with drilling • Rig equipment and types• Types of drill bits • MWD • Drill strings • Drilledsolids management • Mud tank arrangements •Drilling fluid properties • Well control • Cementing• Casing design • Hole problems (stuck pipe,

lost circulation) • Well control • Directional drillingoperations and tools • Safety

Houston sessions will include field trip to rig when available.

ABOUT THE COURSE

Well Design and Engineering integrates all major welldesign technologies from pre-spud to TD. Participants areactively engaged in every aspect of the technical activitiesrequired to deliver a cost-effective well plan while alsogaining valuable perspective on how the overall processshould be managed in a dynamic team environment. Theworkshop content is often customized to addresstechnologies and practices that may be specific to a projector operational situation. The course delivery is carefullybalanced to integrate technical lectures and group

discussion with roughly half of each day allotted for theteams to apply what they have learned on the project welldesign. The single most important goal of the workshop isto draw the linkages between the design topics and to leavethe participants with an understanding that each decisionhas influence on those that follow. Intensity mounts as thecourse progresses and each design topic builds on thosethat came before. Design iterations are commonly required,especially as the course progresses and seeminglyunrelated decisions push the teams into situations ofuncomfortable operational risk. On the last day, each teampresents their completed design before the class and aninvited panel of industry professionals.

A scientific calculator is required and a laptop computeris strongly recommended .

DESIGNED FOR

Production, operations, and reservoir engineers;senior technicians and field supervisors with anengineering background.

YOU WI LL LEARN HOW TO

• Apply NodalTM Analysis concepts viewing the totalproducing system as a whole from the reservoir rockthrough the completion, well bore and gatheringsystem, to the market while honoring system rate/ pressure constraints

• Avoid improper design where any one component,or a mismatch of components, adversely affects theperformance of the entire system

• Perform a system-wide analysis to increase well ratesby identifying bottlenecks and design an efficientfield-wide flow system, including wells, artificial lift,gathering lines and manifolds

• Use NodalTM Analysis, together with reservoirsimulation and analytical tools, for planning new fielddevelopment

ABOUT THE COURSE

Improper design of any one component, or a mismatchof components, adversely affects the performance of theentire system. The chief function of a system-wideanalysis is to increase well rates. It identifies bottlenecksand serves as a framework for the design of efficientfield wide flow systems, including wells, artificial lift,gathering lines and manifolds. Together with reservoirsimulation and analytical tools, NodalTM Analysis is usedin planning new field development. Initially, thistechnology was applied using pressure traverse curvesand simple PI models. Now state-of-the-art softwareprograms have enabled a well-trained engineer toconcentrate on matching field data, interpreting results,and understanding a system’s interdependencies.Software is used extensively during the class and theparticipant is encouraged to bring his/her own laptopand nodal software. However, if the attendee choosesnot to supply his/her own software, NodalTM Analysis andgas deliverability planning programs will be provided atno extra charge.

One personal computer is provided, at additional cost,for each two participants.

DESIGNED FOR

Engineers, operators and technical managerswho are responsible for offshore completions,production and development; technical staff

needing a foundation in principals, challengesand solutions for offshore flow assurance. Thecourse is also appropriate for persons involvedin produced fluids flow in onshore productionoperations.

YOU WIL L LEARN HOW TO

• Identify the components of a complete flowassurance study for offshore developments andunderstand how they relate to the productionsystem design and operation

• Interpret and use sampling and laboratorytesting results of reservoir fluids relative to flowassurance

• Understand the basic properties of reservoir fluidsand how they are modeled for the production

flowline system• Understand the thermohydraulic modeling ofsteady state and transient multiphase flow inoffshore production systems

• Evaluate and compare mitigation and remediationtechniques for: gas hydrates, paraffin (waxes),asphaltenes, emulsions, scale, corrosion, erosionand solids transport, and slugging

• Understand the elements of an operability reportfor subsea production facilities, flowlines, andexport flowlines

ABOUT THE COURSE

Flow assurance is a critical component in the designand operation of offshore production facilities. Thisis particularly true as the industry goes to deeper

water, longer tiebacks, deeper wells and highertemperature and pressure reservoirs. Although gashydrate issues dominate the thermal design; waxes,asphaltenes, emulsions, scale, corrosion, erosion,solids transport, slugging and operability are allimportant issues which require considerable effort.The participant will be presented with sufficienttheory/correlation information to be able tounderstand the basis for the applications. Thisintensive five day course has considerable timedevoted to application and design exercises toensure the practical applications are learned.

One personal computer is provided, at additionalcost, for each two participants.

COURSE CONTENT

Overview of flow assurance • PVT analysis and fluid

properties • Steady state and transient multiphaseflow modeling • Hydrate, paraffin and asphaltenecontrol • Corrosion, erosion and sand control• Fluid property and phase behavior modeling• Equations of state • Fugacity and equilibrium• Viscosities of oils • Thermal modeling• Multiphase pressure boosting • Slugging:hydrodynamic, terrain induced & ramp up• Commissioning, Start-up, and ShutdownOperations

DESIGNED FOR

Production, completion, reservoir, and drillingengineers; geologists concerned with wellperformance and production enhancement; field

supervisors, production foremen, engineeringtechnicians, production and exploration managers;those involved in vertical, horizontal and multilateralwells, conventional and unconventional reservoirs.

YOU WIL L LE ARN HOW TO

• Recognize formation damage and damagemechanisms in carbonates, sandstones and shales

• Prevent and overcome damage, when it exists,through the application of non-acid approaches,acidizing and small fracturing treatments

ABOUT THE COURSE

Formation damage seems to be inevitable and it iscosting your company money! Whether formationdamage can be prevented, removed economically, ormust be accepted as the price for drilling and

producing a well will depend upon many factors.Concerns for formation damage have been with ourindustry from the early days. These concerns becomemore prevalent as we embark on more challengingreservoirs utilizing even more challenging drilling,completion and production methods. Additionalconcerns relate to the common lost production orinjectivity following workovers in these challengingenvironments. These subjects and many more areaddressed in this fast-paced, informative coursecovering all aspects of formation damage. Examples,case histories, and class team exercises are usedthroughout the course to emphasize key points on thisimportant industry subject. This subject is brieflycovered in the PetroSkills Production Operations 1course (Foundation Level) as well as in the WellStimulation: Practical and Applied (Basic Level) course.However, this course is more concentrated, detailedand applied in the subject matter than either of theother courses

COURSE CONTENT

Geological / depositional environment, reservoirproperties review • Properties influencing formationdamage • Damaging sandstones, shales andcarbonates, clay mineralogy • Damage mechanisms –Causes of damage: Fluids and Polymers, During drilling,running pipe and cementing, From perforating, Duringwell completions, During production (fines migration,paraffin, scale, etc), During workovers and Damage toInjection wells. • Evaluating damage potential:Laboratory testing • Evaluating wells that may bedamaged: Production performance, Pressure analysis,

Production logging • Damage removal: Non-acidapproaches, Acidizing and Bypassing damage withhydraulic fracturing

DESIGNED FOR

Production, reservoir, and facilities engineers and othersinvolved in gas production, transportation, and storage

including field supervisors.

YO U WILL LEA RN HOW TO

• Apply proven techniques to field problems whichincrease profitability

• Calculating gas well performance, from the reservoirto the sales line

• Optimize gas well production• Relate reservoir and well performance to time• Predict when a well will die due to liquid loading

AB OUT THE COURSE

Participants learn the latest methods for calculating gaswell performance from reservoir to sales. Reservoirperformance covers the fundamentals of reservoir gasflow and details the best methods for testing wells,according to the time and money available. Theimportance of flow regime and non-Darcy flow on test

design and interpretation is emphasized for new wellsand for the possibility of improving the performance ofolder wells. Also discussed are performances of tightformations, horizontal wells, fractured wells, andmethods for estimating gas reserves, the effect of eachsystem component on total well performance, whichpermits optimum sizing of tubing, flowlines, separators,and compressors. Formation damage, gas well de-watering, hydrate formation, water influx, and abnormalreservoir pressure problems are reviewed. Reservoirand well performance to time, as well as calculate cashflow and compression requirements and the bestprocedures to predict when liquid loading will make awell nonproductive are also covered . Field gasprocessing, including dehydration and condensaterecovery, is briefly reviewed. Participants receive freesoftware at the end of the course.

One personal computer is provided, at additional cost,for each two participants.
