Advanced Completion Engineering

19 – 23 Jan. 2026, Abu Dhabi20 – 24 July 2026, Abu Dhabi

COURSE OVERVIEW:

Advanced completion engineering plays a critical role in maximizing reservoir productivity, ensuring well integrity, and supporting long-term field development strategies. This course provides a comprehensive, technically detailed understanding of how to design, evaluate, and implement completion systems across a broad range of reservoir conditions, including unconventional resources, HPHT environments, complex carbonate systems, and multilayer fields.

 

Participants will learn advanced design methodologies covering tubing string sizing, packer selection, intelligent completion systems, ICDs and ICVs, sand control, hydraulic fracturing interfaces, inflow performance modelling, zonal isolation strategies, and completion optimization for both new wells and recompletions. Special emphasis is placed on integrating geology, reservoir engineering, and production data to build robust and fit-for-purpose completion designs. Real field case studies and scenario problems are used throughout the course to strengthen practical decision-making skills.

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of the course, the participants will be able to:

  • Understand the full workflow of advanced completion design and optimization.
  • Select appropriate tubing, packers, and downhole equipment for various well environments.
  • Integrate reservoir properties, wellbore conditions, and production requirements into design decisions.
  • Apply inflow performance and outflow modelling to optimize well deliverability.
  • Evaluate candidate wells for multistage and intelligent completion systems.
  • Design sand control systems (gravel packs, screens, frac-packs) based on reservoir conditions.
  • Assess zonal isolation needs and select suitable barriers and mechanical isolation tools.
  • Incorporate artificial lift, stimulation, and well intervention requirements into completion planning.
  • Design completions for HPHT, sour service, unconventional, and horizontal wells.
  • Analyze completion failures and implement mitigation strategies.
  • Integrate real-time data and digital well technologies into monitoring strategies.
  • Prepare detailed completion programs and operational procedures.
  • Collaborate effectively with drilling, reservoir, and production teams for holistic well design.
  • Evaluate completion cost, risk, and uncertainty for development planning.

 

TARGET AUDIENCE:

  • Completion Engineers
  • Well Integrity and Production Engineers
  • Drilling and Well Design Engineers
  • Intervention and Workover Engineers
  • Reservoir and Petroleum Engineers
  • Field Supervisors and Company Representatives
  • Professionals preparing for advanced well completion design roles

 

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

 

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

 

COURSE CERTIFICATE

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
