ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE Artificial lift systems are an important part of production operations for the entire lifecycle of an asset. Often, oil and gas wells require artificial lift for most of the life cycle. This 5-day training course offers a thorough treatment of artificial lift techniques including design and operation for production optimization.

ABOUT THIS TRAINING COURSE Business Impact: The main aim is to provide insight and understanding of data analytics and machine learning principles through applications. Field data is used to explain data-analysis workflows. Using easy to follow solution scripts, the participants will assess and extract value from the data sets. Hands-on solution approach will give them confidence to try out applicable techniques on data from their field assets. Data analysis means cleaning, inspecting, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering new, useful information and supporting decision-making. In this hands-on 2-day training course, the participants learn some data analysis and data science techniques and workflows applied to petroleum production (specifically artificial lift) while reviewing code and practicing. The focus is on developing data-driven models while keeping our feet closer to the underlying oil and gas production principles. Unique Features: * Eight business use cases covering their business impact, code walkthroughs for most all and solution approach. * Industry data sets for participants to practice on and take home. * No software or complicated Python frameworks required. Training Objectives After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to: * Understand digital oil field transformation and its impact on business * Examine machine learning methods * Review workflows and code implementations * After completing the course, participants will have a set of tools and some pathways to model and analyze their data in the cloud, find trends, and develop data-driven models Target Audience This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit the following specific groups: * Artificial lift, production and facilities engineers and students to enhance their knowledge base, increase technology awareness, and improve the facility with different data analysis techniques applied on large data sets Course Level * Intermediate * Advanced Training Methods The course discusses several business use-cases that are amenable to data-driven workflows.
