Overview
In the development of a hydrocarbon reservoir, many wells are drilled and required to be completed, to allow the structure to be depleted. However, the drilling and completion operations are crucial to the long-term viability of the wells in meeting the specified objectives. The design and completion of both production and injection wells are required to satisfy several objectives including: Provision of optimum production/injection performance. Ensure safety.
Learning Objectives
Evaluate for a given reservoir scenario the bottom hole completion options and make a recommendation based on well integrity and reservoir management requirements
Identify, evaluate and recommend functional capability of completion strings for a variety of situations
Describe the purpose and generic operating principles for major completion equipment components
Identify the limitation of well completion schematically designs and potential failure mechanisms/operational problems with equipment
Assess well safety requirements and capabilities inherent in well design
Describe the integration of the various stages of completing a well
List and flow chart a general procedure to run a completion string
Describe the requirements to pressure test and retain well control throughout the completion process
Define the need for full and accurate reporting and records to be kept

Accreditation
Al-Khobraa certified. On completion delegates receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of achievement.
What do Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses cover?
The portfolio spans the full value chain: upstream exploration, drilling and well control; midstream processing, pipelines and gas treatment; and downstream refining and petrochemicals — plus process safety management (PSM), HAZOP studies, corrosion control and plant operations. Trainers are practitioners from the sector.
Who should attend an oil, gas and petroleum course?
These courses suit process, production and petroleum engineers, plant and field operators and supervisors, maintenance and inspection staff, HSE and process safety professionals, and technical or commercial staff joining the sector from another industry.
How long are oil, gas and petroleum courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can oil, gas and petroleum training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa oil, gas and petroleum course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
