Overview
The true test of a well begins after drilling is complete. The real challenge is ensuring it produces efficiently and reliably over time. This course provides oil and gas professionals and technical specialists with the expertise to design effective completions, maximize reservoir recovery, and manage well interventions that keep operations running at peak performance.
This course covers critical well completion techniques, including cased and open-hole completions, liner and gravel pack systems, and horizontal well completions. You’ll explore the impact of reservoir mechanics on completion design, gaining insight into how different drive mechanisms influence well performance. Finally, you'll learn how to troubleshoot well issues through interventions, workovers, and recompletions.
This course is ideal if you:
- work in well operations, design, or maintenance and want to deepen your expertise in completion strategies
- need a solid understanding of how reservoir mechanics influence well performance and recovery
- are responsible for well interventions, workovers, or recompletions and want to improve operational decision-making
- are looking for an industry-aligned course that fits into your schedule while delivering valuable technical skills.
You must complete PTPR 123 - Well Evaluation prior to registering for this course

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
