BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR FIELD OPERATOR

BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR FIELD OPERATOR

Objectives:

• Evaluate the flow capacity of a well
• Understand why and how formations can be damaged and how to reduce the risk of damage, and increase the well productivity
• Understand how to manage water production problems; and select appropriate methods to attempt for down-hole water shut off operation
• Familiar with proven technologies to deal with many production, work-over and well intervention operations
• An integrated view of the oil and gas production and related facilities during the life of the reservoir
• Gain an improved knowledge about various aspects of the oil & gas production operations. These include production of gas and oil, and surface processing units and operations such as artificial Lift and pressure maintenance operations. 
• Gain an overall knowledge of various hydrocarbon production processes from the time a reservoir is discovered to end users
• Understand the role of the petroleum/reservoir engineer in optimizing recovery
• Gain sufficient knowledge of various surface and sub-surface equipment and processing facilities used in a typical oil & gas field
