Program

An overview of slickline operations in the context of overall well work activities and how to evaluate well interventions prior and during execution. A practical example will assist in illustrating the theory as a real-world application.

  • Reduce overall well workover costs with high level view of activities.
  • Reduced uncertainty in well workover decisions.
  • Insights into well intervention decision making.
  • Service company employees can gain knowledge on key decision points for oil companies.
  • Decision makers and managers can recognize bias in field reporting and decisions.
  • Understand key information and value of gathering information.

For who

This session is a tailored for engineers, consultants and personnel actively involved in the day-to-day execution of well interventions. It is also of interest to oil industry people interested in gaining more insight into the decision inputs involved in well workover activities.

Subsea X-mas Tree (SS Christmas Tree) A subsea x-mas tree (Christmas tree) is a type of wellhead assembly that is used to control and regulate the flow of oil and gas from a subsea well. It is typically installed on the seafloor and is used to control the flow of fluid from the well to the production system on a platform or floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. The subsea x-mas tree is a complex assembly of valves, spools, and fittings that are designed to be durable and able to withstand the harsh conditions of the deep sea environment.
Everyone wants to do a good job or DEG Regeneration Drama I had just been put in charge of the Facilities Engineering department and I found the job great - working with lots of production, maintenance, and operations people. My manager came to me with an issue that a vendor had not done the work they were supposed to do, took the money for the job, delivered the wrong equipment, and refused to help commission and fix the system. The first step was to figure out what this project was all about. The company was using di-etheylene glycol (DEG) to carry corrosion inhibitor from the wells to the gas treatment facility, as well as binding any free water to avoid hydrates. At the facility the glycol was re-generated by heating the glycol to boil off the water from the glycol (returning it to Lean Glycol). The lean DEG was then returned to the field and re-injected at different wellsites. It was mandated two years previous that the existing DEG regeneration system did not meet standards and would have to be replaced with a new system. The first year this was agreed was a tough one in the industry, so it was almost immediately cut from the budget. The following year it was permitted to have study work done, but at a fraction of the required engineering cost. The year that it was scheduled to be installed, engineering began, and consultants were hired to execute the project and pressure was placed on the organization to get this now hyper-critical regulatory issue dealt with.
