ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE
Well interventions have a large opportunity to enhance well production if
correctly designed and implemented. Conversely, they can have a large negative
impact on production if they're not.
The Well Intervention & Productivity School (WIPS) is designed to help well
intervention specialists, well service supervisors, and petroleum engineers
become more aware of the problems that can arise in the planning and execution
of well interventions.
This 5 full-day course is designed to make those that attend aware of how their
job can directly impact the productivity. Early identification of problems in
wells and effective interventions to fix problems can have a significant impact
by minimising lost oil through formation damage and non productive time. As well
as discussing best practice, time will be made available for discussion relating
to specific problems that may be affecting fields operated by members of the
class.
The course is a mixture of informal teaching and lectures. In addition, group
exercises are used to reinforce the subjects covered during the lectures. This
encourages cross discipline awareness, communication and motivates team
building.
The course has recently been updated in the areas of Subsea and HPHT
interventions.
This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)
format.
Training Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the participants will be able to:
* Identify the main reasons for performing well interventions.
* Identify the main formation damage mechanisms and understand how to prevent
them.
* Improve your knowledge and understanding of well barriers.
* Improve your knowledge of pumping and stimulation operations.
* Improve your knowledge of wireline, coiled tubing and hydraulic workover
operations.
Target Audience
The course is aimed at all engineers and contractors involved in the planning
and execution of well interventions.
This is a school where engineers and supervisors can hone their skills,
especially at a time when increased production is a high priority. In the past,
course attendees have been a mix of Petroleum engineers, Well Intervention
engineers, Reservoir and Drilling engineers, Production Operators, Wellsite
supervisors, as well as Geologists.
In recent years, delegates have come from a wide range of disciplines and
backgrounds. Experience before coming on the course has varied from no field
experience and no experience of planning and programming well interventions
through to many years working in well interventions.
In order to be able to best adapt the course to the delegates expectations, you
will be required to submit a pre-course questionnaire upon submission of your
registration.

Trainer
Your expert course leader has over 40 years in the oil industry. During that
time, he has worked exclusively in well intervention and completions. After a
number of years working for intervention service companies (mostly slickline),
he joined BP as an offshore well service supervisor. He was responsible for the
day-to-day supervision of well intervention work on many of BP's North Sea
platforms and subsea wells. This included coil tubing, e-line, slickline,
stimulation and well test operations.
An office-based role as a well operations engineer followed. He was responsible
for planning, programming and organising of all the well intervention work on
the Bruce and later the Magnus fields. In 1995, he moved into completion design.
Since then, he has designed many platform and sub-sea completions, often
travelling to the rig site to oversee the installation. In addition to his
day-to-day work as a completion engineer, he regularly teaches completion and
well intervention courses all over the world. He is also the author of the book,
Well Control for Completions and Interventions, Gulf Publishing - April 2018. He
has also appeared as an expert witness ant the International Court of
Arbitration.
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.
