Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to: review surface flowing well conditions with the goal of optimizing production, describe the basic layout of an upstream producing facility and the functions of its major components, outline the general requirements for separating and treating produced oil as a basis for a detailed facility design, and plan and oversee routine field maintenance work, and maintain a safe operation through proper application of good work practices and the careful control of site activities.

Upon completion of this course, the participant should be able to: evaluate well performance and identify workover or abandonment candidates, plan safe workovers using the tools and methods appropriate to individual wells, and apply procedures and standards in accordance with recognized safe practices and regulatory requirements.

Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to: use production data to define a well's IPR and flow potential under current operating conditions, predict changes in well potential resulting from declining reservoir pressures, evaluate the effects of various operating parameters on flowing well performance, design a single-well production system based on analysis of individual system components, select the appropriate tubing and flowline diameters for optimizing well performance, and predict future production rates based on changing operating conditions.

Describes the basic components of a flowing well production system and examines how they are related to each other.

This topic presents the basic elements of a coiled tubing well intervention and outlines the steps involved in pre-job planning, job execution, and post-job activities from a field engineering/operations standpoint.

This topic presents the basic elements of a slickline well intervention and outlines the steps involved in pre-job planning, job execution, and post-job activities from a field engineering/operations standpoint.

This topic presents the basic elements of an electric line well intervention and outlines the steps involved in pre-job planning, job execution, and post-job activities from a field engineering/operations standpoint.

This topic introduces the basic terminology, purpose, and economics of rigless well intervention.

Describes the functions and components of vertical and horizontal separators and oil treating equipment. Illustrates design considerations, including sizing calculations, for both two-phase and three-phase flow.

Reviews the types and features of casing and tubing housings, Christmas tree components and flowline valves, as well as flowline sizing, installations and operating procedures.
