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

• How drilling, completing and reworking a well affects its ability to produce
• What can be done within open-hole and cased wells, as a part of reservoir management How drilling practices can damage or stimulate producing wells

The course is directed to all technical, field, service, support and supervisory personnel desiring to gain an introductory overview of these topics and how they interrelate, cross-training of other technical disciplines such as reservoir and surface facility engineers plus geoscientists, anyone who interacts with drilling,

Completion or work over design engineers such as technical supervisors and technical service personnel. Reservoir Engineers will learn what can be done within open-hole and cased wells as they execute reservoir management. Drilling and completion personnel will learn how the producing reservoir can be damaged or stimulated by what they do.

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
