About this Training
This comprehensive 5-day course provides an in-depth exploration of smart oilfield and sensor technologies, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to optimize hydrocarbon recovery through advanced digital solutions. The program begins with an introduction to smart wells and smart reservoirs, setting the foundation for understanding the principles of system optimization and control in the oil and gas industry.
Participants will gain insights into the physical principles of oilfield sensors and the main categories of surface and subsurface sensors employed in modern operations. The course delves into the technology and applications of interval control valves (ICV) and inflow control devices (ICD), as well as multiphase metering technologies, enabling attendees to grasp the cutting-edge tools and techniques for monitoring and controlling well performance.
Smart multilateral wells and their role in enhancing recovery are examined, alongside case studies that showcase practical applications of smart well technologies across various oil and gas fields. The course also explores the potential applications of smart wells in improved oil recovery (IOR) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) processes, highlighting the latest advancements in these critical areas.
Cyber security considerations for oil and gas operations and infrastructure are addressed, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding digital systems in the energy sector. Participants will gain insights into the reliability and challenges associated with smart well systems, equipping them with the knowledge to navigate and mitigate potential risks effectively.
Throughout the course, your expert course leader, drawing from his extensive industry experience, will guide participants through selected published case studies, providing real-world context and fostering a deeper understanding of smart oilfield technologies. The program culminates with group project presentations, where participants will have the opportunity to apply their newfound knowledge and receive valuable feedback from the instructor.
