Artificial Lift Systems (ALS)
Course Description
Artificial lift plays a crucial role in oil & gas production, especially in mature oilfield. Artificial lift is not only accelerating the production, but also vital to the economic success of the overall development. Therefore, selecting and designing the appropriate artificial lift is important. After completing the course, the participants will possess and enhance the skills necessary to select, design, plan, analyze and optimize the artificial lift system for offshore oilfield. This comprehensive course covers the artificial-lift methods and technologies that fall into two groups, those that use pumps and those that use gas. It provides information and concentrates on the proper selection, operation and maintenance of subsurface pumps so the best economical life can be obtained. It will enhance your knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to understand the artificial-lift methods and technologies. It provides the attendees with a thorough understanding of the theory behind all forms of artificial lift, the advantages and limitations of each system, application considerations, and sample performance predictions for each lift method.

The course will start with Multi-Phase Flow and NODAL Analysis and how to compare and select the correct artificial lift system. A thorough understanding on the principles, applications, design and operational issues on the artificial lift system will be provided. The candidates will also learn how to analyze the cost when selecting the artificial lift system. Furthermore, the course will cover the advanced artificial lift systems currently available. They will gain knowledge on the advantages and disadvantages of each type of the advanced artificial lift system.

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

  • Be aware of artificial lift technology
  • Compare systems to determine which one is most economically feasible
  • Specify components and auxiliary equipment needed for each system Select the appropriate ALS
  • Use principles and content mentioned below to focus on maximizing oil production with artificial lift systems
  • Understand and apply multiphase tubing and pipe flow principles
  • Know what best practices are available to extend the life of equipment and installed lift systems.
  • Apply basic design and analysis concepts & understand Nodal Analysis
  • Learn how to select and design an ALS, plan its operation, monitor, analyze and optimize its performance
  • Design system features that allow for gassy production, production with solids, viscous production, and for other harsh environments
  • Understand the fundamentals and the production performance of the various artificial lift methods for offshore application
  • Be able to manage and control the production of artificial lift wells and fields
  • Be able to study and compare the cost between artificial lift systems
  • Learn fluid properties and reservoir performance & understand the relationship between natural flow & ALS
