Quantify the production impact of decisions taken on well performance diagnosis.
Well Performance Evaluation and Diagnosing Causes of Productivity Decline
Move well performance diagnosis from general awareness to a repeatable, reviewable practice.
Course Overview
Regulators and insurers increasingly want documented evidence of how well performance diagnosis is controlled. The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations; it has added to it. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda and under-invest in testing it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about well performance diagnosis under scrutiny. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline hard in practice. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations is rarely technical. The programme takes participants through well performance diagnosis end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It is written for people who have to make the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline work with the resources they already have. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the wider energy and hydrocarbon operations agenda that participants can repeat annually.

Plan well performance diagnosis around shutdown windows rather than against them.
Draw practical lessons from failures in well performance diagnosis without assigning blame that suppresses reporting.
