Introduction

This designed whom interested to be Gas Lift Master! Learn how to maximize the production of your gas lift wells and how to make the most of a product/technology.

Also, this course will explain in detailed how to interpret your gas lift well behavior? Explaining when it produces at its full potential. Will illustrate all the products that suppliers want to sell to you.
This training course gets all the answers you are looking for and even the general form of technical case

Starting from the very beginning participants will learn all the secrets of gas lift and unlock:

  1. Cost savings through smarter product selection and better product knowledge to gain advantages during price negotiations
  2. Production increase with minimal investment and work
  3. The great feeling of being in control of your gas lifted wells!

 

If you are a Junior Engineer:

Get a better understanding of the technical discussions at work. Get the knowledge to become an active participant in meetings rather than just watching. Make a positive contribution in technical email exchanges by giving your analysis of the situation. Challenge more senior engineers and impress your manager with your understanding of the topic. Propose ideas to generate production increase and gain visibility among management.

 

 If you are a Manager:

Stay sharp easily by simply watching videos. Get new ideas to increase production. Use course schematics to train your team and get their respect by teaching them new things. Evaluate course content and see how much time you could save by having your team following it. How easier your job would be if they mastered the content.

 

If you work for a Service company:

Gain credibility and trust of your customers by proposing solutions more adequate with their good behavior. Get the ability to capture the right problem of the well and share business opportunities inside your organization among colleagues in charge of the right product line.
