ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
Gas wells are the most uncertain hence critical component of any gas production
system. A successful gas project relies on a reliable forecast of gas well
production and on timely implementation of measures that restore, sustain and
improve gas well capacity, and maximize reserves. This 5-day course provides the
skills to understand and analyze (changes in) gas well performance, and to
select and design those remedial measures. It addresses all four gas well
components i.e. reservoir performance, inflow performance, outflow performance
and surface performance, individually and combined.
In depletion-drive reservoirs, the gas well outflow performance becomes
inevitably compromised as the reservoir pressure depletes and the gas rate
becomes insufficient to lift liquid water and condensate to surface. This
condition is referred to as liquid loading and causes significant loss of well
capacity and reserves. This 5-day course provides the means to recognize and
predict liquid loading, introduces the deliquification techniques that mitigate
liquid loading, and then teaches how to select, design, install and operate the
optimum suite of deliquification measures.
Training Objectives
On completion of this course, participants will be able to:
* Recognize and model gas well reservoir, inflow, outflow and surface
performance
* Understand and model gas well production forecast and reserves
* Identify and model gas well performance threats and opportunities,
specifically liquid loading and deliquification
* Select and justify remedial measures that mitigate those threats or realize
those opportunities, specifically deliquification measures
* Understand design, installation and operation of those deliquification
measures
Target Audience
This course is intended for production engineer, surveillance engineer,
completion engineer, production/process chemist, reservoir engineer, production
programmer, production operator, as well as other professionals responsible for
selecting, installing, operating, monitoring and optimizing deliquification.
Course Level
* Basic or Foundation
Training Methods
This course consists of a series of lectures and exercises. The lectures are
interactive with field examples to illustrate models and concepts, where
participants are encouraged to contribute their own relevant field examples. The
exercises make use of a series of Excel worksheets for model calculations.
Participants are invited to implement their own field specific well data. When
arranged beforehand, PROSPER gas well performance software can be used as well.
This course addresses ways and means to monitor and manage gas well performance
and deliquification. It covers the purpose, outcome and benefit of gas well
surveillance and capacity measures to assist future surveillance and capacity
planning. Specifically, it addresses the selection and implementation of
deliquification measures.
This course introduces the skills and tools required for periodic review of gas
well performance in support of critical business processes
Trainer
Your expert course leader brings with him 38 years of oil and gas field
experience largely within Shell of which 25 years as gas well production
engineer. He has covered the full spectrum of activities moving from R&D to
green field development to brown field surveillance and optimisation, to become
a leading gas well performance and deliquification specialist.
He likes to capture the complex reality of gas well inflow, outflow and
reservoir performance by means of practical data-driven rules and tools that
cover a wide range of conditions i.e. shallow-to-deep, prolific-to-tight,
dry-to-wet, green-to-brown, 1-1/2'-to-9-5/8' tubing, and depletion-to-aquifer
drive.
Before his retirement end 2020, He worked for Shell affiliated oil and gas
companies including Shell Malaysia, Petroleum Development Oman, NAM Netherlands
and Shell R&D in Netherlands and USA. Since then, he has been active as an
independent trainer and consultant, amongst others for Cairn India.
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. We can
help improve your competence in your chosen area of interest, based on your
learning needs and available hours. This is a great opportunity to improve your
capability and confidence in a particular area of expertise. It will be
delivered over a secure video conference call by one of our senior trainers.
They will work with you to create a tailor-made coaching program that will help
you achieve your goals faster.
