Future Solutions

  • 1.Operational knowledge to specify tools and procedures to ensure the recovery of tools and/or equipment left downhole

    2. Evaluate the techno- economics and risks involved in fishing as compared with other alternatives such as sidetracking

    3. Ability to specify tools and procedures to ensure the recovery of tools and/or equipment left downhole under supervision

    4. Evaluate the economics and risks involved in fishing as compared with other alternatives such as sidetracking

    5. Monitor fishing operations in the field and provide recommendations regarding the tools and methods being used

  • This course will be conducted along with formal lectures and interactive worked examples. Each learning point will be reinforced with practical examples and case studies. There will be active discussion and video presentations. The sharing professional experiences and exchange will help solidify the gained knowledge. All training course materials will be provided.
