Hydraulic Pumping

ATTEND AN UPCOMING CLASS:
Check back in periodically for updated Public and Live Online course dates! To schedule an In-House course, contact SCA’s Training Department at training@scacompanies.com.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Production, reservoir, completion, drilling and facilities engineers, analysts, operators, and anyone interested in learning about the implications of hydraulic lift systems for their fields and reservoirs.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Application of hydraulic lift is for oil and gas wells in conventional, unconventional, onshore, and offshore assets. Hydraulic lift – Jet Pumping and Piston pumping – systems are less frequently used forms of lift methods, but they work where other lift methods struggle. Hydraulic lift methods allow the life of well lift possibilities when selected and applied correctly. Trainees receive a thorough understanding of hydraulic pumping lift technologies and related concepts. Examples and class problems are solved using SNAP software. Animations and videos reinforce the concepts under discussion. A brief review of digital oilfields application in hydraulic lift is also presented.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

• Develop a clear understanding of hydraulic pumping lift system, how they work, and when they are used in oil and gas wells.
• Understand benefits and limitations of hydraulic lift against other lift forms during well’s life cycle.
• Develop design of jet pump using SNAP software.
• Identify surface and subsurface equipment that enable hydraulic lift.
• Be aware of optimization practices for trouble-free operation.
