OVERVIEW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are arrangements typified by joined-up working between the public and private sectors. In the broadest sense, PPPs can cover all types of collaboration across the interface between the public and the private sector to deliver services. This course will equip participants with a basic understanding of PPPs and why they are needed. It will walk delegates through a typical PPP process, from the identification of potential PPP projects to risk appraisal, tendering, and implementation.
OVERVIEW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For internal employees who want to understand and expand their roles related to financial reporting, as well as those who simply need a refresher on financial accounting, this course is the ideal way to get up to speed. By exploring concepts that go beyond basic accounting, this course will enable participants to approach financial auditing with renewed confidence. The programme will walk participants through an analysis of an organization's financial statements using case study exercises, where participants will calculate key ratios and analyze trends over time. Engaging in discussions on both historic and current fraud cases, participants will learn how to recognize âred flagsâ in financial statement reporting.
OVERVIEW -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By the end of this Fundamentals of Transfer Pricing Strategies training course, participants will be able to: * Acquire basic technical knowledge of transfer pricing * Appreciate the importance of the arm's length principle * Identify the different stages of a typical transfer pricing analysis * Developing a high-level appreciation of the transfer pricing including tax areas and opportunities for multinationals * Analyze the current transfer pricing legislative framework * Be updated on recent developments in transfer pricing
Completion Design
By Asia Edge
ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE This 5 full-day course is aimed at engineers and supervisors who already have a basic understanding of well construction methods but who would benefit from a more detailed knowledge of completion design. The course will concentrate on the important aspects of completion design and what makes a safe and efficient well. A common thread of practical examples will be used throughout the course in the form of a case study or 'red-thread' exercise. The case study is based around data all taken from a single field where those attending will work through all the basic issues of a completion design. The exercises associated with the case study is performed in the student's own time after each of the formal sessions. However, at the start of the next day, the case study is reviewed and discussed. The whole case study will continue through all sessions, with each element being reviewed at the start of the next session. There is no 'right' answer to the exercise - producing interesting discussions! The purpose of the course is not to go over specific equipment in detail. Teaching methods include presentations, videos, and animations and the case study. The course will cover: * Types and configurations of completions * The completion design process * Inflow performance, skin and formation damage * Perforating; selection, deployment and interface with rest of completion * Stimulation and impact on completion and flow performance with coverage of modern horizontal multifrac tools * Open hole, non-sand control completions including open hole packers and horizontal well clean up * Sand control; when do you need it, basic types and selection guidelines. Includes standalone screens, ICDs, various gravel packing techniques, frac packs and expandable screens * Tubing sizing, flow estimation and liquid loading * Artificial lift; types and selection criteria, interface with drilling, reservoir and facilities. Design of gas lift and ESPs included * Production chemistry impacts on completion, prevention and removal (scales, wax, asphaltene, hydrates, and souring) * Metallurgy, corrosion, and erosion; metal types and selection of * Elastomers and plastics; types and selection of * Tubing stress analysis; picking the grade and weight of tubing, plus selection criteria for packers and expansion devices. Interface between tubing stress analysis and casing design * Completion equipment; basic types of equipment, reliability and selection criteria for each (tree, safety valve, mandrel, packers, expansion devices etc) * Completion installation; importance of wellbore clean-out, function and types of brines, pointers for efficient completion installation * Non-conventional wells; types and when / where to use them (multilaterals, smart (intelligent) wells and also SAGD, CO2 sequestration, CBM, etc) Training Objectives By the end of this course, the participants should be able to: * Have a good understanding of the completion design process and what makes a good completion design * Understand the importance of the installation process (completion running) in the design process * Have an appreciation of new and developing completion techniques (intelligent wells) Target Audience This course will benefit engineers and field-based personnel such as completion supervisors and production engineers. It is also suitable for completion vendors, specialists such as chemists and subsurface personnel including geologists, reservoir engineers and petrophysicists. Trainer Your expert course leader has 30 years of oil and gas industry experience. A first class degree in geophysics and a master degree in Petroleum Engineering was a prelude to seven years with BP as a petroleum engineer. He left BP and following a short spell in Camco, jointly founded ICE Energy. After six years of completions and petroleum engineering consultancy and training, ICE Energy merged with TRACS International, where he continued with petroleum and completion engineering studies, leading integrated teams, and developing / delivering training courses for a variety of different clients in diverse world-wide locations. In the last five years, he is independent again - focusing on technical consulting and course delivery. POST TRAINING COACHING SUPPORT (OPTIONAL) To further optimise your learning experience from our courses, we also offer individualized 'One to One' coaching support for 2 hours post training.
