This course is a study of completion equipment and services. It presents the design considerations for completing convention, heavy oil, thermal, sour and high pressure high-temperature wells. Students will learn to plan and design completions and stimulations, as well as the specification of metallurgy and elastomers for downhole equipment. Discussions will cover well performance, flow assurance, and formation damage, with troubleshooting hints and strategies for common practices. Topics include: packers and down-hole equipment, materials, coating and corrosion, the selection of completion and work-over fluids, perforating and alternatives, flow assurance, remedial cementing, coiled tubing, snubbing, and fishing operations.
