About this Training Course Gas wells are the most uncertain hence critical component of any gas production system. A successful gas project relies on a reliable forecast of gas well production and on timely implementation of measures that restore, sustain and improve gas well capacity, and maximize reserves. This 5-day course provides the skills to understand and analyze (changes in) gas well performance, and to select and design those remedial measures. It addresses all four gas well components i.e. reservoir performance, inflow performance, outflow performance and surface performance, individually and combined. In depletion-drive reservoirs, the gas well outflow performance becomes inevitably compromised as the reservoir pressure depletes and the gas rate becomes insufficient to lift liquid water and condensate to surface. This condition is referred to as liquid loading and causes significant loss of well capacity and reserves. This 5-day course provides the means to recognize and predict liquid loading, introduces the deliquification techniques that mitigate liquid loading, and then teaches how to select, design, install and operate the optimum suite of deliquification measures. Training Objectives On completion of this course, participants will be able to: Recognize and model gas well reservoir, inflow, outflow and surface performance Understand and model gas well production forecast and reserves Identify and model gas well performance threats and opportunities, specifically liquid loading and deliquification Select and justify remedial measures that mitigate those threats or realize those opportunities, specifically deliquification measures Understand design, installation and operation of those deliquification measures Target Audience This course is intended for production engineer, surveillance engineer, completion engineer, production/process chemist, reservoir engineer, production programmer, production operator, as well as other professionals responsible for selecting, installing, operating, monitoring and optimizing deliquification. Course Level Basic or Foundation Training Methods This course consists of a series of lectures and exercises. The lectures are interactive with field examples to illustrate models and concepts, where participants are encouraged to contribute their own relevant field examples. The exercises make use of a series of Excel worksheets for model calculations. Participants are invited to implement their own field specific well data. When arranged beforehand, PROSPER gas well performance software can be used as well. This course addresses ways and means to monitor and manage gas well performance and deliquification. It covers the purpose, outcome and benefit of gas well surveillance and capacity measures to assist future surveillance and capacity planning. Specifically, it addresses the selection and implementation of deliquification measures. This course introduces the skills and tools required for periodic review of gas well performance in support of critical business processes Trainer Your expert course leader brings with him 38 years of oil and gas field experience largely within Shell of which 25 years as gas well production engineer. He has covered the full spectrum of activities moving from R&D to green field development to brown field surveillance and optimisation, to become a leading gas well performance and deliquification specialist. He likes to capture the complex reality of gas well inflow, outflow and reservoir performance by means of practical data-driven rules and tools that cover a wide range of conditions i.e. shallow-to-deep, prolific-to-tight, dry-to-wet, green-to-brown, 1-1/2'-to-9-5/8' tubing, and depletion-to-aquifer drive. Before his retirement end 2020, He worked for Shell affiliated oil and gas companies including Shell Malaysia, Petroleum Development Oman, NAM Netherlands and Shell R&D in Netherlands and USA.

About this training course Gas well performance is dictated by the combination of inflow and outflow performance. The outflow performance of any gas well is at risk as soon as the gas rate becomes insufficient to lift the associated liquid water and condensate to surface. This condition is referred to as liquid loading and invariably causes intermittent production and significant loss of well capacity and reserves. Liquid loading can be mitigated by different types of gas well deliquification such as compression, velocity string, plunger lift, foam-assisted lift, gas lift and downhole pump. This 5 full-day course will first show how to predict and recognize liquid loading. Next, it will describe how to select, design, install and operate the best sequence of deliquification measures. It will also consider deliquification in the presence of other production threats such as water production and halite blockage. These topics will be illustrated by an abundance of field examples and case studies. The participants will be completing a case study during the training. This case study is preferably based on their own relevant data set. If no such data is available, an external data set will be provided instead. Prerequisites skills: It is necessary for the participants to have a basic knowledge of petroleum engineering and gas well performance. This course can also be offered through Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) format. Training Objectives On completion of this course, the participants will be able to: Develop skills and tools to understand and model gas well liquid loading and deliquification Understand the principles and practicalities of different deliquification methods Learn how to compare, select and apply deliquification measures by taking own field case as example Target Audience This course is intended for production engineer, surveillance engineer, completion engineer, production/process chemist, reservoir engineer, production programmer, production operator as well as professionals responsible for selecting, installing, operating, monitoring and optimizing deliquification. Course Level Basic or Foundation Training Methods This course utilizes Excel worksheets first introduced in the Optimising Gas Well Performance course. To derive maximum learning value, the participants are requested to bring their own relevant set of field data to complete their own case study during the training. The list of data required will be shared beforehand so data can be timely collected and cleared for external use. The participants should be prepared to complete any unfinished exercises and assignments before next day's session starts. The instructor will be available to discuss any remaining queries after the completion of the course.
