Course Overview
In energy operations the cost of getting sand control in production wells wrong is measured in downtime, and sometimes in lives. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on production wells both accrue interest. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations are used deliberately. Practitioner evidence points the same way: sand control in production wells improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The difficulty is not agreeing that the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline matters — it is deciding what to stop doing to make room for it. This programme builds production wells from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. They acquire practical criteria for judging when sand control in production wells is working and when it is only appearing to. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about production wells in their own setting. Participants leave with a plan for the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
