CDGA

This course addresses various areas of gas lifting operations. It gives a complete look on the operational activities which will enable field operators to fully optimize even from systems selection, design, and installation. Moreover, the course will then focus on the techniques in achieving production optimization, specifically with continuous flow installations, monitoring, and run-life optimization. In order to achieve optimal levels of production, NODAL analysis will be used in order to analyze and troubleshoot gas lifted wells. Class exercises and case studies will also be presented in order to test the candidates’ application of the concepts learnt in the course into situational instances of field operations.

The Training Course Will Highlight ?

The objective of this course is to provide comprehensive coverage of Gas Lift design in Production Optimization. The latest technology multi-phase flow and inflow well performance is covered. Continuous flow and intermittent lift including valve mechanics are emphasized. Theory and applications are balance throughout. Example problems are discussed and others worked out by participants.
