Full Field Optimization for Gas-Lifted Assets

Who should attend?

• Reservoir, production and facilities engineers; project and asset managers interested in improving performance of their assets.

Prerequisites:

• Understanding of petroleum engineering concepts. Attendees should have petroleum engineering background or at least five years of working experience in the industry.
• Familiarity with engineering design software is desired.
• For 3-5 days classes: Each participant needs to bring a laptop for solving class examples using software to be provided during class. Laptop needs to have a current Windows operating system and at least 500 MB free disk space. Participant should have administrator rights to install software.
• Optionally a workshop component can be incorporated that utilizes client-supplied software and their well data for solving field problems. This option requires three days of consulting work prior to the training.

Course level:

• Intermediate
