The Performance Assessment and Optimization Using Nodal Analysis Course gives production engineers, petroleum engineers, and well performance professionals a comprehensive, practically grounded understanding of nodal analysis covering inflow and outflow performance, wellbore hydraulics, nodal analysis software, artificial lift optimisation, and integrated asset modelling.
Nodal analysis is one of the most powerful and widely applied tools in production engineering. It provides the systematic framework for understanding how a production system performs as a whole — from reservoir inflow through tubing, wellhead, and surface facilities and for identifying where constraints exist and how removing them will improve production. Professionals who apply nodal analysis rigorously and confidently consistently deliver better production performance and more informed field development decisions.
This course addresses the full nodal analysis workflow from production system fundamentals and fluid properties through inflow performance relationships, pressure transient analysis, tubing performance, gas lift design, and software application, to artificial lift selection, integrated asset modelling, and field development planning. Practical exercises are built into every day to ensure immediate competence development.
The Performance Assessment and Optimization Using Nodal Analysis Course is built for production and petroleum professionals who want to master nodal analysis as an integrated production optimisation tool — not just a theoretical concept.
How will this Training Course be Presented?
The Performance Assessment and Optimization Using Nodal Analysis Course is delivered through a structured, application-focused learning approach that moves progressively from nodal analysis principles and fluid properties through inflow and outflow performance modelling, software application, and real-world applications in artificial lift, integrated asset modelling, and field development planning. Each day builds directly on the previous — ensuring delegates develop both conceptual understanding and practical analytical capability.
Practical exercises are built into every day of the course — ensuring delegates apply each concept before advancing to the next and leave with immediate, hands-on nodal analysis competence.
Delivery methods include:
- Instructor-led sessions covering nodal analysis principles, production system elements, and fluid property and wellbore hydraulics fundamentals
- Inflow performance workshops applying inflow models and IPR relationships to real reservoir and well scenarios
- Pressure transient analysis sessions developing delegates' ability to interpret PTA outputs and integrate them into nodal analysis workflows
- Outflow performance and tubing analysis exercises applying tubing performance modelling to production system assessment
- Artificial lift selection exercises applying nodal analysis to evaluate and compare lift technology options
- Integrated asset modelling and field development sessions applying whole-system performance analysis to development planning scenarios
Certificate
