The course will feature:

• Introduction of well completion methods
• Reasons for well intervention
• Methods of well servicing (wireline/coil tubing/snubbing)
• Understanding fluids and pressure

By the end of this BTS training course, participants will be able to:

• Understand and apply Principles and Procedures (P&P)
• Apply theory regarding Completion Operations Well Control

• Understand practices and equipment surrounding Coiled Tubing
• Understand practices and equipment surrounding Hydraulic Workover (Snubbing).
• Understand practices and equipment surrounding Wireline Operations
• Understand the impact and consequences of a blowout
• Know the safety barrier principles
• Understand the behavior of a producing well
• Learn the various tool used during well interventions and work-overs
• Be aware of the methods used to control well pressure
• Learn procedures and equipment used in wireline, coiled tubing, snubbing, work-over

All personnel concerned with well intervention operations (wire-line, coiled tubing, snubbing, work-over) involved in operations linked to the detection of a kick: engineers, supervisors and operators who have to supervise or carry out well intervention operations

This interactive Training will be highly interactive, with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas and will include;

• Lectures
• Workshop & Work Presentation
• Case Studies and Practical Exercise
• Videos and General Discussions
