Production Technology

Code: Technical

Duration: 5 Days

Location: Doha

Fee: QAR 11,900

Course Overview This course is designed to introduce the basic knowledge of Production Technology to various engineering disciplines of the assets in order to improve communication amongst the asset team members, enhance work performance and promote team work spirit amongst different organization bands.The course is composed as modules, which include exercises, group discussions and quizzes for full comprehension of the Production Technology topics relevant to all functions being carried out and within the Production Engineering area of responsibility including the functional design of the wells, actual construction of the wells and completion operations to create a producing well.Following the start of actual production operations, Production Technology controls the process of bringing the initial production of the well to the desired production level, monitors the well and reservoir performances to assess whether both are functioning as intended in the development plan. Course Objectives
