Objective:

This course is intended for well analysts, artificial lift analysts, production engineers and other technical personnel who are involved in optimization of progressing cavity pumping systems using LOWIS™ software. The course aims to provide a practical understanding of capabilities created by LOWIS software in managing PCP well performance.

Course Description:

The course covers practical aspects of automation concepts as applied to PCP systems. Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

1. Understand basic concepts of automation and how it is used in an oil field
2. Explain basic components of an PCP system
3. Explain underlying theory behind well performance applicable to PCP wells
4. Understand surveillance and optimization concepts applicable to PCP systems
5. Explain the importance of well tests and how to use them to diagnose problems with PCP wells
6. Use LOWIS software to
1. Configure an PCP well for data capture from an automation system
2. Monitor well performance
3. Analyze PCP well performance using real time measurements
4. Validate a well test based on results of analysis

Course Contents:
