What you will learn

This bundle includes the 8 courses by Damien Leonard:

  • Nodal Analysis – The Well Inflow Mechanism
  • Nodal Analysis – The Well Outflow Mechanism
  • Artificial Lift
  • Understanding the Forms of Gas Lift
  • Gas Lift Equipment
  • Gas Lift Unloading Sequence and Mandrel Spacing Design

Description

This course will allow you to start from scratch and help you to become a Gas Lift Expert!

After learning the fundamentals of well production, you will be presented with the main forms of artificial lift. You will then learn how to maximize the production of your gas lift wells and how to make the most out of a product or technology.

Are you often uncertain about how to interpret your gas lift well behavior? Do you know when it produces at its full potential? Are you lost in front of all the products that suppliers want to sell to you?
This bundle gets you all of the answers you are looking for and more!

Starting from the very beginning you will learn all of the secrets of gas lift and unlock:

  1. Cost savings through smarter product selection and better product knowledge to gain advantages during price negotiations
  2. Production increase with minimal investment and work
  3. The great feeling of being in control of your gas lifted wells!

If you are a Junior Engineer:
Get a better understanding of the technical discussions at work. Get the knowledge to become an active participant in meetings rather than just watching your peers. Make a positive contribution in technical email exchanges by giving your analysis of the situation. Challenge more senior engineers and impress your manager with your understanding of the topic. Propose ideas to generate production increase and gain visibility among management.

 If you are a Manager:
Stay ahead of the curve by simply watching videos. Get new ideas to increase production. Use course schematics to train your team and get their respect by teaching them new things. Evaluate course content and see how much time you could save by having your team follow it. How much easier your job could be if they mastered the content?

If you work for a Service company:
Gain credibility and trust of your customers by proposing solutions that are more adequate for their well behavior. Get the ability to capture the right problem of the well and share business opportunities inside your organization among colleagues in charge of the right product lines.

Prerequisites:

  • Basic knowledge on well architecture
  • Awareness on the oilfield terms
