Well Testing, Completion Design & Operation, Well Stimulation and Workover Planning

Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 2,500

Overview

This course is primarily designed for drilling, production and completion engineers and supervisors needing a practical understanding and an appreciation of well completion design and operation, well stimulation and workover planning. It explains how completion configurations are varied to meet well objectives and to maximize well productivity. Design concepts and methods are presented together with downhole tools and their selection criteria.

Learning Objectives

• Completion types and design for vertical, horizontal and multilateral wells, design and optimization of tubing based on tubing performance analysis (Inflow performance analysis, liquid, and gas hold up during fluid flow and forces on tubing), downhole equipment, tubing accessories, wellhead equipment including subsea completion. Also, fluid flow through perforations and perforation techniques; communication tests; wireline operations; reservoir stimulation; and hydraulic fracture treatment design and optimization are extensively reviewed . Local case studies are also provided.

Who Should Attend

This course is designed for professionals working in oil and gas, as well as those whose responsibilities require a stronger practical grasp of the subject and its application within their organisation.

• Professionals in Drilling & Well Engineering
• Engineers and specialists in oil & gas operations
• Operations, process and field personnel

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
