Oil and Gas Technical training > Micro Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) – Running a Completion

About this Micro Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)

Well completion commonly refers to the process of finishing a well so that it is ready to produce oil or natural gas. In essence, completion consists of deciding on the characteristics of the intake portion of the well in the targeted hydrocarbon formation. There are a number of types of completions, including:

  1. Open Hole Completion
  2. Conventional Perforated Completion
  3. Sand Exclusion Completion
  4. Permanent Completion
  5. Multiple Zone Completion

This Micro VILT covers the planning, installation and all of the various steps that require special attention, especially ensuring that equipment is landed in the correct place as well as any potential operational issues.

Your expert Micro VILT trainer has over 40 years of experience in the Oil & Gas industry. During that time, he has worked exclusively in well intervention and completions. After a number of years working for intervention service companies (completions, slickline & workovers), he joined Shell as a well service supervisor. He was responsible for the day-to-day supervision of all well intervention work on Shell’s Persian/Arabian Gulf platforms. This included completion running, coil tubing, e-line, slickline, hydraulic workovers, well testing and stimulation operations. An office-based role as a senior well engineer followed.

Learn what past participants have said about EnergyEdge training courses

This was a very good class that had a very well put together PowerPoint presentation, the competitive quiz at the end was fun, the instructor was very knowledgeable in teaching this class, the instructor encouraged classroom virtual participation, and the different videos of how a milling job is done, how to pump a completion fluid into the well, how a SCSSV control line was run, and how to install a chemical injection line into the well were very good videos.
