Introduction to Artificial Lift
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In Introduction to Artificial Lift, you will learn about reservoir pressure and drawdown; factors affecting drawdown, such as GOR, GLR, and the flowing pressure gradient; and how inflow performance relationship (IPR) is used for evaluating wells and sizing tubulars. You will also learn various types of artificial lift, along with advantages and disadvantages of each type.
Target Audience
Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.You Will Learn

- Define drawdown and describe how reservoir pressure impacts flow.
- Describe how GOR, GLR, and density affect drawdown.
- Describe the inflow performance relationship and identify IPRs for types of wells.
- Describe the basic types of artificial lift.
- Identify the function and components of a gas lift system.
