Who should attend: Production supervisors, field technicians, operators etc. concerned with analysis and optimization of plunger lift installations and gas well deliquification operations. Echometer Company offers a 5-day seminar on Trouble Shooting Plunger Lift and Gas Wells. Techniques used to analyze field data collected on various lift methods will be presented throughout the seminar. Use of the Echometer Well Analyzer permits immediate identification of liquid loading problems in underperforming gas wells. The topics covered in this seminar are Gas Well Deliquification, Identifying Liquid Loaded Gas Wells, Analyzing & Trouble Shooting Plunger Lifted wells, and review of all methods used to remove liquid loading from gas wells. Introductory Trouble Shooting Plunger Lift and Gas Wells Seminar MAY 16-17, 2013 -- WICHITA FALLS (HELD PRIOR TO 5-DAY PLUNGER LIFT SEMINAR) NOV. 14-15, 2013 -- WICHITA FALLS (HELD PRIOR TO 5-DAY PLUNGER LIFT SEMINAR) Trouble Shooting Plunger Lift and Gas Wells Seminar MAY 20-24, 2013 -- WICHITA FALLS NOV. 18-22, 2013 -- WICHITA FALLS Advanced Dynamometer, Torque, and Power Seminar Objective: Advanced class that focus on the analysis of TWM Sucker Rod Lift Dynamometer, Counterbalance, and Power data collected using the Echometer Well Analyzer. Seminar consists of short formal presentations followed by hands-on analysis of actual example data. Who should attend: TWM users who have attended a previous Echometer seminar and are interested in more details in the analysis of Sucker Rod Lift data. This advanced 3-day seminar offered by Echometer provides guidance on using Dynamometer, Counterbalance, and Power data collected using the Echometer Well Analyzer. Analysis of the data will allow the participant to identify and solve sucker rod pumping problems. The general format of the seminar will be a collection of one-hour mini-topics. Each mini-topic will consist of a 30 minute presentation followed by the class participants using TWM software installed on their individual laptops to investigate the presentation’s highlighted topic. Knowledge gained from attending this seminar will increase the participant’s skill in troubleshooting sucker rod lifted wells. After attending this seminar the participant should be able to identify well problems and recommend corrective actions. Application of these analysis techniques to sucker rod lifted wells will increase profitability due to decreased repair cost and increased production. Advanced Dynamometer, Torque, and Power Seminar MAR. 12-14, 2013 -- Wichita Falls JULY 16-18, 2013 -- Wichita Falls OCT. 29-31, 2013 -- Wichita Falls Pressure Transient Seminar This 3-day seminar provides expanded training on the analysis of Echometer Well Analyzer Pressure Transient data. Day 1 will cover using the Echometer Well Analyzer and Total Well Management, TWM, Software to acquire Acoustic Single Shot fluid levels and Multi-shot Pressure Transient Test. The class will observe the steps to setup the equipment at a well and conduct a pressure transient test. Analysis of acoustic traces to identify the liquid level echo and how to determine the distance to the liquid level will be presented. Day 2 will cover the basics of pressure transient analysis, including analysis methods and software. Data collected on different wells will be used to illustrate conventional analysis methods for determining permeability, well bore damage, and reservoir pressure. Day 3 will cover advanced analysis methods and test diagnostics, again illustrated with actual data. Class participants should bring their individual laptops. Knowledge gained from attending this seminar will increase the participant’s skill in 1) conducting pressure transient test, 2) using TWM to determine skin, permeability and static reservoir pressure, and 3) how to export TWM data and analyze using advanced pressure transient analysis methods. Application of these analysis techniques will aid the operator in identifying wells that have been damaged where stimulation of the well will increase profitability due to increased production.
