Downhole Remediation Practices for Mature Oil and Gas Wells
Taking a practical stance, this course covers how to select, design and apply remedial methods for ageing wells, drawing on field experience and research. The main focus is on production-related damage near the wellbore and on controlling unwanted water. Sand control repair and remedial cementing are also addressed, and participants apply the methods to a problem from their own field.
