Course Description
When oil or gas is being produced the reservoir pressure reduces. At a certain point in time it can happen that the pressure in the reservoir becomes too low for production and artificial lift can be required. This 5-day course covers the artificial-lift methods and technologies fall into two groups, those that use pumps and those that use gas. It provides information and concentrate on the proper selection, operation and maintenance of subsurface pumps so the best economical life can be obtained. This course will enhance the candidates’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to understand the artificial-lift methods and technologies specially the proper selection, operation and maintenance of subsurface pumps so the best economical life can be obtained. The course will allow the candidates to become familiar with the system and when it should be used. All components will be described in detail. Design and analysis will be done using advanced computer programs. This training session will discuss typical sucker rod lift field operational problems. These problems include down hole separation, pump compression ratio, and effects from spacing out the pump. The use and misuse of sinker bars and rod guides will be covered. Also presented will be well failure frequency and tracking as well as a summary on well trouble shooting.
