Artificial Lift Technology

This course is designed to provide an overview of various artificial lift solutions and related production optimization concepts. After introducing the need for an artificial lift system, training will focus on each of the following lift methods: Gas lift, Reciprocating Rod Lift, Progressive Cavity Pumping (PCP), Hydraulic Pumping (HP), Electrical Submersible Pumping (ESP), and Plunger and Capillary System. For each lift type, the course covers main components, application envelope, relative strengths, and weaknesses.
 

The course will close with a discussion session wherein trainees will discuss their challenges and plans for lift systems with a view to understanding the applicability of the concepts learned during the training.
