INTRODUCTION
In this course, we introduce an overview of various artificial lift solutions and related production optimization concepts. After introducing the need for an artificial lift system, training will focus on each of the following lift methods: Gas lift, Reciprocating Rod Lift, Progressive Cavity Pumping (PCP), Hydraulic Pumping (HP), Electrical Submersible Pumping (ESP), Plunger and Capillary System. For each lift type, the course covers main components, application envelope, relative strengths and weaknesses.
The course will close with a discussion session wherein trainees would discuss their challenges and plans for lift systems with a view to understand applicability of the concepts learned during the training
-
COURSE OBJECTIVES
At the end of this course you will be able to:
- Possess the basic skills required to select and size artificial lift systems
