About this training course Artificial lift systems are an important part of production operations for the entire lifecycle of an asset. Often, oil and gas wells require artificial lift for most of the life cycle. This 5-day training course offers a thorough treatment of artificial lift techniques including design and operation for production optimization. With the increasing need to optimize dynamic production in highly constrained cost environments, opportunities and issues related to real-time measurements and optimization techniques needs to be discussed and understood. Artificial lift selection and life cycle analysis are covered. These concepts are discussed and reinforced using case studies, quizzing tools, and exercises with software. Participants solve examples and class problems throughout the course. Animations and videos reinforce the concepts under discussion. Understanding of these important production concepts is a must have to exploit the existing assets profitably. Unique Features: Hands-on usage of SNAP Software to solve gas-lift exercises Discussion on digital oil field Machine learning applications in gas-lift optimization Training Objectives After the completion of this training course, participants will be able to: Understand the basics and advanced concepts of each form of artificial lift systems including application envelope, relative strengths, and weaknesses Easily recognize the different components from downhole to the surface and their basic structural and operational features Design and analyze different components using appropriate software tools Understand challenges facing artificial lift applications and the mitigation of these challenges during selection, design, and operation Learn about the role of digital oilfield tools and techniques and their applications in artificial lift and production optimization Learn about use cases of Machine learning and artificial intelligence in the artificial lift Target Audience This training course is suitable and will greatly benefit the following specific groups: Production, reservoir, completion, drilling and facilities engineers, analysts, and operators Anyone interested in learning about selection, design, analysis and optimum operation of artificial lift and related production systems will benefit from this course.

 Testimonial “The EMpower Network commissioned the content creation workshop to understand how to communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders. In light of covid-19, it’s more important than ever to communicate clearly especially as we’ve moved to remote meetings. The workshop was very insightful and Alan was a very engaging speaker making sure all attendees contributed and worked through real-life examples. Attendees praised the usefulness of the workshop and especially liked the content generation framework with one saying 'It has changed the way I think about communicating and given me a toolkit that I will use in both my work and personal projects'.” Shade Nathaniel-Ayodele | EMpower Network, Southwark Council
