Advanced Nodal Analysis for Production Engineers

Introduction

Based on data coming from a material balance or the own production of a well, it is possible to predict the future production behavior of a well as a function of time and decide the proper selection of design variables such as tubing sizes for example, or make the decision to install or not any particular artificial lift system. Unlike a conventional nodal analysis, all decisions from a sensitivity analysis is carried out and planned in the future considering the reservoir pressure changes that happens with time.

Objectives

    Production and reservoir engineers, engineers with basic knowledge in this area, among other, involved in the monitoring and performance of oil and gas wells.

Training Methodology

The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. Ongoing back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”.

Who Should Attend?

These courses can be delivered either as open public training courses or in-house and typically involve additional study, assignments and assessments. Not only do these training courses prepare you for the qualification but they also focus on providing practical skills and techniques which are directly transferred to the workplace.
