This course provides a comprehensive overview of completion and well intervention operations.
Public :
Engineers and technicians, from operating or service companies, interested but not involved in well completion or servicing: geologists, geophysicists, reservoir engineers, drillers, production and process staff, platform designers, economists, etc.
Level :Awareness
Prerequisite :
No pre-requisistes are necessary to follow this course.
Course Content
