Course overview
Why Attend
Maximising production from existing wells is often the fastest and cheapest way to increase output and revenue. Production optimisation combines well performance analysis, artificial lift, surveillance and systematic problem solving.
This LLMI course covers well inflow and outflow performance, nodal analysis, artificial lift methods including gas lift, electrical submersible pumps, rod pumps and progressive cavity pumps, production surveillance and the use of digital tools to optimise production. Participants practise identifying underperforming wells and selecting remedies.
The course is practical and focused on decisions engineers make every day.
