This course introduces the petroleum production systems including reservoir’s inflow performance and well’s outflow performance concepts, formation damage mechanisms; surface production facilities and operation; tubing performance analysis, design and selection; basic well completion design concepts and familiarization of downhole completion equipment; overview of artificial lift systems including technologies, equipment and fundamental mechanisms of each system, selection criteria, design and analysis of artificial lift systems including gas lift, and pump lift; Analysis and optimization of total petroleum production systems using conventional and nodal analysis. The connecting theme of the topics is to follow flow of fluids from the reservoir/well interface through the well and surface facilities, with emphasis on hardware components, their functions and importance.
