The course will cover various methods of perforations, their advantages & disadvantages. This will help the candidates to decide the method for perforation in their well.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Familiarize the personnel’s in oil industries about the various techniques of perforations
• Be able to decide the better way or technique for perforating their well
• Learn about the explosive handling & various safety measures required during perforation operations

Drilling Engineers, Senior Drilling Engineers, Drilling Supervisors, Petroleum Engineers, Completion Engineers, Tool Pushers, Reservoir and Senior Reservoir Engineers, Geologists, Production and Completion Engineers, Foremen, Industry Personnel

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
