Advanced Design and Analysis of Well Inflow Performance
Workshop Overview
This course will instruct reservoir, completion and production engineers in design and analysis techniques of well performance of different completions commonly used to develop reservoirs. This course will teach a different approach to the traditional Nodal Analysis or Well flow Analysis courses, focused on the well inflow component of the well/reservoir system.
The course will be taught at an advanced level, therefore, participants are required to have a basic understanding of the well flow analysis concepts and techniques. A systematic review if inflow performance concepts and techniques will be used to enable participants to develop inflow predictions to both simple and complex well completions; detailed review of Darcy and Non-Darcy skin effects to incorporate in the well completion designs will be presented. Class problem will be used to show participants how to determine optimal well candidates for well intervention purposes as well as the most effective completion alternatives for a given well.
Class problems will be worked using MS Excel spreadsheets to analyse well performance concerns. Methods for post-auditing well completion performance leading to achieve continuous improvement objectives are used along with techniques for evaluating the costs and benefits of alternative completion designs.
