The course provides all the fundamentals necessary to drill a well whether it is a shallow well or a complex, high pressure well. Computer programs are used to design many aspects of the modern well and the course will provide the participants with the theory behind most programs along with practical implementation. 

Participants are required to bring a scientific calculator 

By the end of this CDGA training course, participants will be able to:

• Enhance the candidates’ knowledge skills to understand the well completion.
• Improve the awareness of wells completions types, operations and subsurface equipment
• Apply the latest techniques in well completion design and operation
• Optimize tubing dimensions for maximum production and estimate the pressure losses in tubing for different rock & fluid properties
• Use different subsurface completion equipment and accessories and select packers and packer settings
• Operate the well head equipment properly and calculate geometries and dimensions casing and tubing hangers
• Identify the different special consideration for horizontal and multilateral completions on wellbore, tubing and casing configuration
• Recognize the components of perforation of oil and gas wells such as completion fishing operations, well stimulation and fracturing, well testing, and well integrity
• Carryout the various procedures of communication tests
• Practice the process of wire line operations
• Discuss the elements of reservoir stimulation and increase the knowledge in understanding of stress and rock properties involved in the simulation techniques

Drilling supervisors, drilling engineers, tool pushers, managers and technical support personnel
