Instructor Overview and Introduction

The well service and workover (procedures) series is designed to introduce students to the fundamental processes by which oilwells are completed, repaired, restored, and placed into producing status. The series is made up of six separate courses which can be offered sequentially, or as stand-alone training. This series requires the instructor to be considered a content expert in the course being taught. This training guide offers guidelines and recommendations for instruction intended to complement the field experience exhibited by the instructor. Each course in this series is designed to provide both classroom and hands-on training. The classroom component comprises approximately 25% of each course and should serve to provide foundational knowledge and a generalized background of the topic. The remaining 75% of the course is designed as hands-on field training and should be paired with the appropriate facility/equipment designated in this guide. courses offered in this series include: Well Logging Acidizing Fracturing Completion Cementing and Perforating Well Cleanout and Repair Fishing Tools and Procedures The

The following instructional guide will provide a course overview (syllabus), training outline, classroom component materials, equipment guide for hands-on component, and supplemental materials/handouts.
