ELECTRIC AND SLICK LINE AND COILED TUBING WELL
ELECTRIC AND SLICK LINE AND COILED TUBING WELL INTERVENTION FUNDAMENTALS
Discipline: Completion, Production
Level: Basic/Intermediate
Duration: 5 days
Instructor: Jairo Balcacer
Purpose
This course will present the basic components of an electric line, slick-line and coiled tubing well intervention and outlines the steps involved in planning phase, job execution and post-job activities from an operations/field engineering point of view. Discussions about the required surface and subsurface tools used in specific electric line, slickline and coiled tubing interventions provided by the service companies as well as general operating procedures to carry out well interventions having the HSE component as the major driver of the operations.
Designed
This course is addressed to well intervention, completion and production engineers as well as rig supervisors who deal with interventions on a daily basis.
You will learn
- Summarize the process of HSE risk assessment, analysis and risk mitigation
- The steps involved in the pre-job planning phase
- Field engineering and operation post-job activities
- Surface and subsurface equipment and differentiate conventional slickline from advanced slickline applications
- State the typical well intervention operations performed with wireline
- Surface and subsurface equipment and recognize areas of application for coiled tubing operations
