Introduction

COURSE INTRODUCTION

The "Completion Engineer: Well Completion Design & Workover Operations" course is designed to equip petroleum professionals with the essential technical skills, operational understanding, and design principles necessary for successful well completions and workover interventions.

A well completion is the critical link between a productive reservoir and surface production facilities. It directly affects the long-term deliverability, integrity, and profitability of the well. Similarly, workover operations provide the means to restore or enhance well performance throughout the life of the asset. Mastery of both disciplines is fundamental to ensuring efficient and cost-effective oil and gas production.

Objective

COURSE OBJECTIVE

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

?  A thorough understanding of completion engineering fundamentals.

?  Practical knowledge of designing lower and upper completions.

?  Exposure to modern technologies like intelligent completions and multistage fracturing.

?  Workover planning, execution strategies, and risk management.

?  Real-world case studies, best practices, and lessons learned from global operations.

Audience

COURSE AUDIENCE

?  Completion Engineers — responsible for planning, designing, and executing well completions.

?  Production Engineers — seeking to deepen their understanding of how completion design impacts production performance.

?  Well Intervention and Workover Specialists — involved in maintaining, repairing, or enhancing well performance through interventions.

?  Drilling Engineers — transitioning into completion-focused roles or expanding their well lifecycle knowledge.
