By the end of this course, participants will:

• Understand the fundamental principles of well completions and their importance in well performance.
• Design effective completion systems tailored to reservoir characteristics and operational goals.
• Evaluate and select appropriate completion components, including tubings, packers, and safety valves.
• Address issues related to barrier management and develop practical solutions for barrier failures.
• Gain hands-on experience in selecting materials, designing completions, and troubleshooting common problems.
• Apply advanced techniques like perforating, sand control, and acid stimulation to enhance well productivity.

This course is designed for:

• Engineers and technical staff involved in well completions and well integrity.
• Field operators and supervisors managing completion operations.
