TRAINING ARTIFICIAL LIFT DESIGN

OVERVIEW

The course will provide basic knowledge of Artificial Lift. Review of fluid properties, multiphase flow regimes and all lifting methods: rod pumps, Progressive Cavity Pumps (PCP), gas lift and Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESP), Discussion of alternate deployments and multi-sensor applications for surveillance and optimization. Strategies and best practices for field production optimization are discussed. The effectiveness for NODAL systems analysis for lifting performance optimization is demonstrated.
