Course Overview
In energy operations the cost of getting multi-stage well completion wrong is measured in downtime, and sometimes in lives. Assets involved in this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations routinely outlive the engineers who commissioned them. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations outperform teams that only plan it. The version of multi-stage well completion described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda are used deliberately. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations under scrutiny. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of multi-stage well completion and supervised application. This programme builds the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations rather than a set of notes.
