Artificial Lift Systems
Combining lectures, hands-on exercises and seminar discussion, this course teaches how to design and troubleshoot the main artificial lift systems. Rod pumping, continuous gas lift and electric submersible pumps are treated in detail, with other methods such as progressing cavity pumps, plunger lift and jet pumps also introduced. Software-based design work helps participants improve efficiency, raise output and reduce failure-related downtime.
