Pittsburgh2026

We’re bringing hands-on production engineering training to Pittsburgh. If you’ve been wanting practical, real-world training you can apply immediately, this is your chance to join us in PA.

Across the course, you’ll work directly through exercises focused on everyday production engineering challenges: reliably estimating daily BHPs, diagnosing liquid loading, determining which gas lift valve is open, building IPR/VLP curves, and comparing casing vs. tubing flow performance. We’ll also cover gas lift optimization, injection rate comparisons, pressure loss analysis, mass liquid loading reports, and how to distribute available gas lift across a field to maximize production.

Bring your laptop and mouse, we’ll handle the physics.

Morning Agenda (8:30am - 12pm)
Nodal Analysis Training

• Reliably estimate daily BHPs
• Is the well liquid loaded?
• Which gas lift valve is open?
• IPR/VLP curves
• Compare casing vs tubing flow (gas)
• Compare different gas lift rates (oil)
• Learn about the powerful gas lift curve.....are you over injecting?
• Friction vs gravity....What is dominating the wellbore pressure loss?
• Mass report liquid loading
• Distribute gas lift in the optimal way, to maximize rate

Afternoon Agenda (1:00-4:30pm)
