Week 18
10 - Drilling a well How we can produce oil gas
from underground ? Drilling technology is the key
to reach the deep reservoirs and to produce from
its.
11 - The well completion and its
performance These series of lectures regard the
key element in the production the well. The well
is the part of the production system who links
reservoir and surface. Knowing the performance of
the well is possible to define the possible
limits in production as well as the work-over
intervention to enhance it
12 - The surface facilities gathering systems
and treatments of oil and gas The final step in
production are the surface treatments before
selling the produced oil gas. The lectures are
focused on the description of basic treatment
components and on the most common procedure in
treating oil gas.
