Training Gas Lift Operation & Troubleshooting

COURSE OBJECTIVE

With this course, you will understand the operational characteristics of all popular gas lift systems. You become expert in practical troubleshooting and diagnosis of gas lift well performance. To accommodate all field supervisors, the course is taught with a presumption of no higher educational background than high school. You learn field application and practical results. Actual field examples are analyzed and diagnosed by the group.

This seminar is a strong introductory course for engineers expected to plan and improve gas lift operations. This is one of our most popular courses for field supervisors and engineers
