Advanced Completion Engineering
Course Description
Proper and effective well completion design and implementation are the keys to achieving maximum recovery in the most economical and safe manner. Another equally important aspect of optimizing production is the ability to identify the causes of production impairment or deficiency and properly select, design and implement remedial workover operations. This course provides the candidates with the knowledge needed to effectively select, design and implement well completions and workover operations.They will learn how to make the most effective selection of well completions for various conditions. The various types of subsurface completion, production and control equipment and their functions and selection criteria will be covered. Tubing design and selection procedure will be discussed and they will be familiarized with the different types of completion and work over fluids, their properties and selection criteria. The course will then cover the descriptions, design considerations and implementation procedures of typical completion and work over operations such as perforating, remedial cementing, sand control and matrix stimulation.

Petroleum Engineers, Production Engineers, Well Completion Engineers, Workover Engineers, Operation and Reservoir Engineers, Operations Managers and Supervisors, Production Personnel, Drilling Supervisors, Hoist Supervisor, Well Services Engineers, Site Drilling Engineers and Project Engineers
