Maximizing Field Operations with Cutting-Edge Downhole Training

Comments · 36 Views

As an oil company focused on efficient hydrocarbon recovery, focusing on continuous improvement is crucial for success. One area with huge potential is leveraging new training technologies to develop our downhole teams’ subsurface expertise even further. That’s where ESIMTECH can help

Preparing for Real-World Challenges

Traditional training methods struggle to realistically simulate the complex physics crews face underground. ESIMTECH’s fracturing and acidizing simulator immerses trainees in interactive 3D wellbores, giving them hands-on experience placing fracturing jobs, picking optimal completion designs, and performing acidizing treatments before deploying into live fields.

Customizing Training for Any Asset

The simulator can precisely model the characteristics of our specific reservoirs. Instructors utilize predefined scenarios refined from our own operations data to ensure relevance. Teams receive role-specific coaching tailored to maximize performance across each asset.

Measuring Performance Gains

Through its post-simulation evaluation tools, we gain unprecedented insight into how each team member and crew performs overall. This empirical data pinpoints areas for improvement and proves the simulator’s ROI by linking training success directly to improved well outcomes in the field.

Unlocking the Potential of Our People

By further developing subsurface expertise through highly realistic ‘ESIMTECH fracturing and acidizing simulator’ simulation, our employees can solve more difficult challenges and optimize completions for maximum productivity. This system empowers both individuals and the company to continuously strive for higher profitability and recovery rates.

When fieldwork readiness is critical, virtual simulation ensures new levels of consistency, safety and success for any operation. ESIMTECH is elevating our performance through cutting-edge downhole training innovation.

 

There is no set timeline for how long team training takes using ESIMTECH's simulator, as the duration can vary depending on the specific objectives and complexity of the scenarios. However, here are some general guidelines:

  • For basic familiarization with simulator interfaces and standard procedures, 1-2 days is usually sufficient. This provides an overview without delving deeply into scenarios.

  • Introductory scenarios focused mainly on methodology and workflow can usually be completed within 3-5 days, depending on the number of simulations run.

  • More advanced scenarios incorporating variations, complications and evaluative debriefing typically require 5-10 days for effective skills development.

  • Customized programs tailored to a specific asset/field may take 2-4 weeks if they include in-depth history matching, multiple scenarios per team and detailed analysis of operational completion design optimization.

  • Refresher or advanced skills training is most effective when conducted over 1-2 weeks to build upon existing competencies and ensure retention over time.

The key is spending enough time practicing, receiving coaching and improving based on performance analytics. Most clients see optimal value when dedicating 2 weeks or more to simulator-based training per crew. The flexible, scenario-driven nature also allows programs to be customized according to goals and schedules.
