Start on: May 2024
Completions and Workovers provides an integrated introduction to many facets of completion and intervention technology. The material progresses through each of the major design, diagnostic, and intervention technologies concluding with some common remedial measures and well abandonment. The course focuses on the practical aspects of each of the technologies, using design examples – successes and failures – to illustrate the key points of the design and the risks/uncertainties. The overall objectives of the course focus on delivering and maintaining well quality.
In addition to the classroom and virtual format, this course is also available in a blended format, incorporating online learning with virtual, instructor-led sessions via PetroAcademy Blended Learning. Participants can participate in real time, or on-demand. See details here
