Artificial Lift Systems (ALS)
This 5-day course introduces key artificial lift technologies used in oil production, including Gas Lift, Rod Pumps, ESPs, Jet Pumps, PCPs, and emerging systems. Participants will learn how to select, design, and troubleshoot each method based on well conditions and performance goals. The course combines theory with practical examples and ends with a hands-on design and troubleshooting workshop.

Overview of artificial lift system lifecycle and economics
Day 2: Gas Lift Systems
Gas Lift principles and types (continuous, intermittent)
Components and surface facilities
Design basics (injection rate, valve spacing, pressure profiles)
Common issues and troubleshooting
Case studies and field examples
Day 3: Pumping Systems – Rod Pump & ESP
Rod Pumping Systems
Operation, design considerations, limitations
Surface and downhole components
