The Completions and Workovers course is an introduction to many facets of completion and intervention technology. The material progresses through each of the major design, diagnostic and intervention technologies, ending with the effect of operations on surface facilities and plug and abandonment requirements. The course focuses on the practical aspects of each of the technologies, using design examples and both successes and failures to illustrate the points of the design and the risks involved with the entire process. The overall objectives of the course are to focus on delivering and maintaining "well quality."
This course is designed for beginning level drilling operations, production operations, workover and completions personnel; petroleum engineers; drilling and completion contractor personnel; service company personnel
