Well completion is a crucial phase in the lifecycle of an oil or gas well, involving the installation of the necessary equipment to bring hydrocarbons to the surface. This course covers a range of completion practices, from basic techniques to complex systems designed for challenging reservoir conditions. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of completion types, perforating, sand control, stimulation methods, and well integrity measures.

By the end of this well completion training course, participants will be able to:

•             Identify, evaluate and recommend functional capability of completion strings for a variety of well types

•             Describe the purpose and generic operating principles for major completion equipment components

•             Identify limitation of well completion designs and potential failure mechanisms/operational problems with equipment

•             Assess well safety requirements and capabilities inherent in well design

•             Describe the integration of the various stages of completing a well

•             Plan general procedure to run a completion string and engagement of external services

•             Describe the requirements to pressure test and retain well control throughout the completion process

The course combines interactive lectures, real-world case studies, and practical exercises. Participants will engage in group discussions, scenario analysis, and hands-on activities that reinforce theoretical knowledge and apply it to practical scenarios in the oil and gas industry.
