Course Overview

Day-by-Day Outline

Day 1 – Fundamentals of Well Completion

• - Completion types: open hole, cased hole, liner completions
• - Key components: tubing, packers, safety valves, flow control devices
• - Design considerations for maximizing production and ensuring integrity
• - Safety and environmental considerations in completion operations
• - Exercise: Identify and select appropriate completion equipment

Day 2 – Perforating & Sand Control Techniques

• - Perforation strategies: underbalanced, overbalanced, tubing-conveyed perforating
• - Selection of charges and gun systems
• - Sand production mechanisms and control methods
• - Gravel packing, frac-pack, expandable screens, and chemical consolidation
• - Workshop: Design a perforation and sand control plan for a horizontal well

Day 3 – Workover Planning & Execution

• - Objectives of workover operations: restoring or enhancing production
• - Workover rig equipment and capabilities
• - Fishing, milling, and cleanout operations
• - Well kill methods and fluid selection for workover
• - Exercise: Prepare a workover program for a well with declining production

Day 4 – Production Optimization & Integrity Management

• - Diagnosis of completion and production problems
• - Tubing and casing integrity evaluations
• - Inflow performance relationship (IPR) and productivity index analysis
• - Artificial lift considerations during workovers
• - Workshop: Evaluate production data and recommend optimization strategies

Day 5 – Case Studies & Best Practices

• - Case studies of successful and failed completions and workovers
• - Lessons learned from real-world operations
• - Integrated approach to completion design and workover planning
• - Economic evaluation of workover and recompletion projects
• - Capstone Project: Develop a comprehensive completion and workover plan for a mature well
