By the end of this course, participants will: 

• Understand the fundamental principles of well completions and their importance in well performance. 
• Design effective completion systems tailored to reservoir characteristics and operational goals. 
• Evaluate and select appropriate completion components, including tubings, packers, and safety valves. 
• Address issues related to barrier management and develop practical solutions for barrier failures. 
• Gain hands-on experience in selecting materials, designing completions, and troubleshooting common problems. 
• Apply advanced techniques like perforating, sand control, and acid stimulation to enhance well productivity. 

This course is designed for: 

• Engineers and technical staff involved in well completions and well integrity. 
• Field operators and supervisors managing completion operations.
