5 training days · 15 modules · hands-on workshops
Establish the technical foundations of production engineering and well performance analysis.
Nodal analysis workshop: groups use IPR and tubing performance curves to optimise completion design for a set of well scenarios with different reservoir and fluid properties.
Select and optimise artificial lift systems for different reservoir and production conditions.
Artificial lift selection and design exercise: teams select and size a lift system for three well scenarios, justifying their choice against technical and economic criteria.
Plan and evaluate well intervention and workover programmes to restore and enhance production.
Workover candidate screening: groups evaluate a portfolio of wells, rank workover candidates by NPV, design the intervention programme, and quantify the expected production uplift.
Apply field management principles to maximise field-level production and recovery.
Field production optimisation exercise: working with a multi-well dataset, teams identify underperforming wells, diagnose the root cause, and design an optimisation programme with production uplift forecast.
Apply field development planning concepts and evaluate digital tools for production optimisation.
Capstone production optimisation plan: teams present an integrated action plan for a mature field covering well interventions, artificial lift optimisation, surveillance programme, and a 12-month production forecast.
