About the Production Technology & Engineering Course

Time Training Center's 5-day/30-hour Production Technology & Engineering course offers a technically integrated overview of key disciplines vital for maximising oil and gas production throughout the well lifecycle. Gain a clear understanding of well completion, reservoir and tubing performance, artificial lift systems, well stimulation, and production logging. This comprehensive program bridges theoretical foundations with real-world, field-based applications.

Our course focuses on optimising production rates while maintaining well integrity and minimising operational risks, with an emphasis on systems thinking. You can learn to analyse the entire production system, from reservoir to surface facilities, enabling them to diagnose flow impairments and design optimal completion strategies. Key modules cover well completion design, reservoir inflow and tubing outflow analysis using IPR/VLP, and selecting suitable artificial lift methods.

Through our expert-led sessions, workshops, and case studies, you can learn to apply stimulation techniques like acidising and hydraulic fracturing. Gain skills in interpreting production logs, diagnosing flow profiles, and optimising production using nodal analysis. Enhance your technical proficiency and boost overall field productivity.

Production Technology & Engineering Course Objectives

​By the end of this Production Technology & Engineering training course, participants will be able to:​

• Understand the principles and design criteria for various well completion types, including open hole, cased hole, and intelligent completions.
• Analyse reservoir inflow performance and tubing outflow behaviour using Inflow Performance Relationships (IPR) and Vertical Lift Performance (VLP) curves.
• Evaluate and select appropriate artificial lift methods—such as ESPs, gas lift, rod pumping, and progressive cavity pumps—based on well and reservoir characteristics.
• Apply stimulation techniques, including acidising and hydraulic fracturing, to enhance reservoir deliverability and productivity.
• Interpret production logging data to identify production zones, diagnose flow profiles, and detect anomalies such as water or gas breakthrough.
