Well Intervention Operations
Description
Well intervention is a vital process in the life of a well, used to restore or improve production, perform diagnostics, and maintain well integrity. This course delivers in-depth knowledge of different well intervention methods, including rigless and rig-based operations. It emphasizes operational planning, equipment selection, risk mitigation, and post-job analysis. With real-world case studies and best practices, participants will be equipped to carry out interventions more safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.
Oil and gas wells often require maintenance or modification during their productive life. Well interventions are essential to ensure optimal performance and to tackle production challenges without the need for drilling new wells. This course is designed to provide professionals with a strong foundation in well intervention operations, covering everything from basic techniques to advanced tools and procedures. It highlights both theoretical principles and field execution, with an emphasis on safety and efficiency.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
-
Understand the purpose and types of well intervention operations
-
Plan and design safe and effective well intervention programs
-
Select and apply the right intervention techniques (e.g., slickline, wireline, coiled tubing)
-
Analyze well performance and identify intervention opportunities
-
Mitigate operational risks and handle downhole challenges
-
Evaluate the success and efficiency of intervention activities
The course combines instructor-led presentations, interactive discussions, real-world case studies, and practical exercises. Participants will engage in problem-solving sessions and group activities to reinforce learning and simulate field decision-making. Digital materials and tools will support a hands-on, application-focused experience.
Upon completion, participants will bring back valuable knowledge and skills that contribute to:
-
Enhanced well productivity and uptime
-
Reduced intervention costs through better planning and execution
-
Improved safety and compliance in field operations
-
Optimized resource allocation and equipment usage
-
Strengthened in-house expertise in intervention planning and supervision
Participants will gain:
-
A strong technical understanding of well intervention tools and procedures
-
Practical skills in job planning, execution, and troubleshooting
-
Increased confidence in handling field operations and decision-making
-
A competitive edge in their career with specialized intervention expertise
-
Opportunities for advancement into supervisory and technical leadership roles
