DURATION:  5 days

​

​LEVEL: Intermediate​​

​

What are the Goals?

• The main goals will be giving the attendants an overview of a "well lifecycle" , its design and
  maintenance until its abandonment.​

​

How will this Training Course be presented?

This Course will be presented using properly designed slides, some with animation and several videos on relevant issues. Teaching methods include also calculations on related issues. Several examples of actual Casing, Cementing and Sand Control Programs will be presented.
