About this Micro Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)

Sand control refers to managing/minimising sand and fine production during petroleum production. Sand and fine produced with oil and gas can cause erosion and wear of production facilities/equipment, resulting in production downtime, expensive repairs, and potentially loss of containment (a serious safety risk). The solid material produced from a well can consist of both formation fines and load bearing solids. The production of fines cannot normally be prevented and is actually beneficial. The critical factor to assessing the risk of sand production from a particular well is whether or not the production of load bearing particles can be maintained below an acceptable level at the anticipated flow rates and producing conditions which will make the well production acceptable. Following this Micro VILT, participants will understand the basics involved in successfully selecting the correct methods of managing their sand control issues and thus optimising production opportunities whilst ensuring equipment maintains integrity.   Micro VILT Group Pricing: SGD$1,200 per person / USD$ 889 per person (Minimum 5 persons per group session) For more details on pricing for larger groups or customisation of course outline, call us at +65 6741 9927 or email [email protected]   Delivery of this Micro VILT: The Micro VILT will be delivered through Zoom, MS Teams or equivalent video conference platforms in combination with other online interactive training tools.   Micro VILT Duration: The Micro VILT will be delivered online in 1 session comprising 4 hours, with 2 breaks.
