What you will learn
This course connects reservoir engineering to well performance and petroleum engineering. Participants will acquire a good understanding of well outflow mechanism. Taken together with the Inflow Mechanism course, it will teach what a senior petroleum engineer should know about nodal analysis and well production.
By following this course you will learn how to increase the production of your oil and gas wells.
Description
Well production mechanisms are one of the most important things to understand when working at optimizing your wells. Whatever if your well is in natural flow or if it uses artificial lift, mastering the concepts of inflow and outflow will allow you to understand any well behavior and optimize it.
This course focuses on the outflow mechanism. You will be guided to many key concepts like VLP curves, pressure losses, flow regimes, multiphase flow pressure correlations, nodal analysis. Well performance, reservoir and petroleum engineering will be all linked. You will be shown how PVT parameters impact the production of your well.
Gas production will also be discussed through the concepts of critical velocity and liquid loading.
By following this course you will learn how to increase the production of your oil and gas wells.
Prerequisites:
- Basic knowledge on well architecture
- Awareness on the oilfield terms
- Understanding of the inflow mechanism

Great course that I actually followed via the bundle which allows for a consistent progression through well productivity. It is pretty easy to follow as the instructor points the reasoning path on pictures. Thanks to the clear explanations and slides, you will get the most of it if you write down notes as school lessons and make the effort to solve yourselves the examples. Provided that, you will reach a good entry working knowledge about the subject. In that particular chapter, the phenomena of flow inside the well itself are covered. In a short time, you will get a good understanding of how hydrocarbons are lifted in a well. That will prepare you to make the most of the artificial lift considerations.

I have taken this course as I was looking for a cost effective training alternative for field production engineers in Western Africa, during the 2015 downturn when all budgets had to be drastically reduced.
This course proved to be very interesting solution. Very good content, very clear explanations. The feedback received by the field engineers team was excellent. The knowledge of wells mechanisms improved and it was noticed in the operations.
I feel I have fully achieved my objectives with this training. I recommend this course if you are looking for a solution to train your operational staff with some years of field experience at a very competitive cost.

Interesting course to better understand reservoirs in oil and gas. I took this course and it was awesome in giving me a better understanding of wells in oil and gas production.

I followed the well outflow course when beginning a career transition from geology to reservoir engineering. I found the explanations very clear and straight to the point with exercises well elaborated to reinforce the concepts and cover all the doubts. It is definitely a very good starting point for those willing to go deeper into production engineering. Strongly recommended.

This course is very useful to understand better the well outflow and parameters that impact in VLP. It is a very good refresh Congratulations.
