COURSE DESCRIPTION
The course provides the students with the basic principles, concepts and equations used in well completion to solve well stimulation problems in wells. Basic equations to study tubular buckling in casing and tubing are derived. The concept of well stimulation is introduced. Perforation and sand control methods are presented.
OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE
The main objective of the course is to acquaint the students with the concepts, equations, analysis methods, and tools used in well completion engineering, that are beyond drilling well methods taught in Drilling Engineering I and II course. The other objectives are to
(a) develop students' ability to apply a quantitative reasoning to engineering problems,
(b) develop students' ability to apply an integrated knowledge of math, physics, geo-sciences and engineering sciences to the solution of well completion design problems,
(c) develop students' ability to design well stimulation data,
(d) provide students with a background for more advanced courses in well completion.
