Mechanical Engineering

The course is designed to provide comprehensive information’s to all aspects of the well completion equipment, design and work-over operations and learn how to deal with harsh environments using different completion systems. The course will be conducted as lecturers and attendees will be actively encouraged to participate. The course content will be fully illustrated with actual data of design and troubleshooting to aid understanding and help to overcome any difficult problems. Comprehensive course notes will be provided, which will form a valuable source of reference afterwards.

After completing this course the participants will have:

• Fully understanding of all completion component
• Fully understanding of completion string design
• The ability to design and supervise most work over and completion operations
• The ability to take the necessary corrective action to deal with harsh environments
• The experience regrding new completion system including sand control and intelligient completions
• The experience to handle all expected intervention operations during work over
• Ensuring the well integrity and avoiding all risks
• The experience to reduce  the cost of the well completion
• The ability to extend the well life and control it, achieve the optimum production

This course is designed for work over, completion, drilling engineers, production technologists, well surveillance teams and well intervention teams.

Define Management Consultancy & Training Certificate of course completion will be issued to all attendees.
 

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences.  Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

All presentations are made in excellent colourful power point. Very useful Course Materials will be given.

• 30% Lectures
• 30% Workshops and work presentation
• 20% Group Work & Practical Exercises
• 20% Videos & General Discussions
