The course is designed for production technologists, production engineer and petroleum engineers who are looking to develop a better understanding on the Production Technology that plays an important role in the oil and gas industry as it allows productivity and efficiency in producing hydrocarbon resources from the reservoir. Production Technology is a specialty area that requires different technical competencies and skill sets and act as a single point of contact for an entire life cycle of the well assets, from planning, execution, operation, and abandonment. By attending the course, participants are expected to acquire knowledge that will help them to solve their problem better and efficient while ensuring that the production of hydrocarbon reserves are economically reasonable and feasible.

The 4-day training session will be delivered by 2 highly experienced trainers using carefully designed case study exercises which simulate challenging production problem scenarios. The course participants will also have the chance to interact in a collaborating manner in solving the case study exercises. The participants can then bring back this learning to benefit his/her field production.
