Gas Production Optimization
Background & About the Course
The Indonesia Oil Fields need to obtain more reserves, gas can be the second backbone for national energy reserves. Hence, the existing ones need to be optimized. The Gas Production Optimization training is to help participants understand the considerations involved in designing and selecting gas well production operation methods. This includes aspects from the reservoir, wellhead, separator, gas processing, pumps, piping, to gas metering. Participants will learn the theory, applications, and calculations starting from the fundamentals of reservoir engineering and production engineering, as well as gas properties, equipment for gas production, pipeline design, and production problem-solving.
The training will cover how reservoir rock, porosity, permeability, and fluid properties are measured in the laboratory, and how these fluid properties affect fluid flow from the reservoir to the surface and ultimately to the end user. Participants will also learn about gas well testing methods, including Pressure Build-up Tests, Drawdown Tests, and other gas well testing techniques, supported by various field case studies. With years of experience, Prof. Herianto continuously updates and enhances the training material. By the end of this training, participants will be equipped to optimize natural gas production effectively.
