A well intervention refers to any operation performed on an oil or gas well during its productive life that modifies the well’s condition, provides diagnostics, or manages its production.
This Energy training course primarily focuses on issues related to the completion string. Reservoir-related problems can be assessed and analyzed using production logging and well testing techniques. Typically, completion string issues can be divided into problems within the tubing bore, which can be addressed through tubing operations, and those requiring the retrieval of the completion string from the well.
The training course offers detailed insights into how workovers and completion design can optimize field production and enhance recoverable reserves. It also highlights the role of well intervention techniques (such as slickline, electric line, and coiled tubing) throughout the well's lifespan to maintain optimal productivity.
Key topics in this Well Intervention training course include:
- Introduction to the variable nature of well interventions
- Best practices for designing and installing completion strings
- Identifying wireline best practices and their applications
- Understanding coiled tubing applications
- Evaluating well control barrier philosophy and testing during well interventions
By the end of this Well Intervention training course, delegates will:
- Understand the diverse nature of well interventions
- Recognize the risks involved and the importance of thorough diagnostics, planning, and supervision
- Comprehend the economic impact of workovers in terms of maintaining well production or injection capacity
- Identify and explain the equipment and operational principles involved in coiled tubing and hydraulic workover units
- Evaluate and recommend the appropriate functionality of completion strings for various scenarios
- Understand the principles of well control barriers
- Identify the three-barrier methodology used during well interventions
- Know the classification of well control barriers for different well intervention techniques
- Explain the mechanisms behind slick wireline operations
- Identify and describe the commonly used downhole wireline equipment and tools
- Understand the surface wireline equipment requirements, including lubricators, BOPs, and stuffing boxes
- Learn about well pressure control and safety considerations associated with wireline operations
- Recognize the limitations of successful wireline operations, including those imposed by depth, hole angle, and dogleg severity
- Gain knowledge of the procedures and equipment used in wireline, coiled tubing, and workover operations
This Energy well intervention training course will be presented using properly designed materials, some and animation on relevant issues. A manual containing all the slides and/or electronic form in PDF will be delivered to each attendant. Teaching methods include several examples of actual well intervention programs.
