Artificial lift selection using Wellflow/ PIPESIM

What you’ll learn By the end of the course you will feel confident in your understanding of:

• Artificial lift methods, concepts of operation and equipment
• Selection criteria to ensure the most appropriate artificial lift method is chosen
• How to perform design procedures for artificial lift wells
• How to recognize the correct data required for well analysis
• Diagnosing and troubleshooting artificial lift well performance
• Optimizing the artificial lift system for production and long term reliability

Course Description The course introduces the concepts used by our engineers in evaluating the best form of lift in individual cases. The student should leave the course with a solid foundation in all forms of lift and the concepts of the selection process to maximize production and return on investment. Who this course is for: Production and field operations engineers, junior and senior petroleum engineers, and field technicians; also geoscientists and reservoir engineers who want to understand the implications of production systems on their field reservoirs. This course helps ensure a broad view of artificial lift, particularly when in-house expertise is limited to one- or two-lift systems.  Course Content
