Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. The aim of this course is to introduce participants to both the physics of artificial lift technologies and the practicalities of the equipment. This course first gives a basic overview of the artificial lift techniques commonly available today, and then goes into more detail on artificial lift techniques likely to be utilized in a typical offshore production environment. Gas lift, ESP?s and jet pumps are covered in particular detail, and the course covers the principles, design, and operational aspects of each. At the participants request, beam pumping can be covered in detail if the local environment demands this. The course is run with a series of lectures from the trainer followed by exercises which cover the above aspects, including lift performance, gas lift valve design, optimising gas lift distribution, ESP pump design and the economics of artificial lift. The attendees are continually challenged to perform evaluations which reinforce the principles and practices of artificial lift.
