WELLFLO-Applied Petroleum Production Engineering-Fundamentals

This course covers the fundamentals of production engineering. Participants will learn production engineering based on the application of qualitative as well as applied analytical techniques.

Learning Outcomes;

Key production engineering concepts such as well modelling, well production optimization, nodal analysis, sensitivity analysis, artificial lift system modelling, well completion methods, reservoir inflow performance, vertical lift performance, flow correlations in different types of wells will be technically covered.

One third of the course will be “practicals and projects", which includes exercises, and group discussions using Wellflo software.

Participants will be given a brief introduction to petroleum production engineering as the course and what they can expect.

During this day fundamentals of reservoir deliverability and fluid flow through the near wellbore zone and factors the affect its deliverability will be discussed. Participants will also be introduced to Darcy’s Law, vogels equations as the modes to use while predicting flow through both saturated and undersaturated reservoirs.
