About the course
Participants work with software that allows them to design and analyse artificial lift designs, which should improve performance and result in higher production rates and/or reduced operating costs. Participants learn how to design and troubleshoot rod pumping, continuous gas lift, and electric submersible pump systems. Other methods such as PCP, plunger lift, jet pump, hydraulic pump, and intermittent gas lift will also be addressed. Participants gain experience in solving problems by hand and also by using advanced computer programs. Troubleshooting is an important part of artificial lift operations and several typical surveillance problems are solved.
Course Objectives
- Apply techniques to maximize oil production economically with artificial lift systems
- Make basic PVT properties and inflow performance calculations related to artificial lift
- Understand and apply multiphase tubing and pipe flow principles
- Select the appropriate artificial lift system by examining the drawdown potential of each method, the initial and operating expense and the range of production and depth possible with each method; special problems such as sand/scale/deviation etc. are discussed with each method
- Specify components and auxiliary equipment needed for each system
- Know what best practices are available to extend the life of equipment and installed lift systems
- Apply basic design and analysis concepts
- Design and operate system feature for each method under harsh conditions
