2016 Gas Well Workshop Continuing Education Course Evaluations No. What Did You Like About the Course? What Could be Improved? Should Continuing Education be Offered in the Future? On What Subjects? Other Comments Name (Optional) Course 101 – Overview of Gas Well Deliquification – Lead Instructor: Jim Hacksma 1 Easy to understand. The slides were very informative and it was easily relatable to someone who had never taken this material. The professor followed the slides almost exactly. If you have the book, I didn’t see a ton of advantage to hear the slides read aloud. Yes Whatever is relevant at the time and add value. 2 The instructor was very knowledgeable and able to answer all questions. The slides were a bit information dense. Too much info on CTO,CTR mode. More information on rod pump would have been good. . Great class! Thank you! 3 Very informative. Jim knew a lot, and all subjects covered were covered in proper depth. Possible more hands-on engagement. Subject is at times dry and could use some participation or engagement to maintain focus. Absolutely. This course as a general overview was Other classes looked interesting as well. Class participation in all workshops and classes. Subjects are often dry and technical. That is their nature, but would help greatly in retained learning. 4 The instructor is very knowledgeable, the course is structured so that meaningful information is presented a large variety of topics related to GWD The slides should match presentation; we spent a lot of time finding our place. Don’t use green pointer, it hurts my eyes. Yes. My time, and I learned a lot. Thank you. 5 It was very informative, and covered many things not taught in PE programs. Nothing. Yes, if technology is developed. 6 The general overview style that coupled with an open forum for further questions or discussion, allowed for understanding topics without going into pages and pages of proofs and equations. Less reading verbatim from the slides, more on HZ/ unconventional experience and approaches. Yes. Case studies or recommendations on some of the topics that are less prevalent would be nice 7 Jim was very thorough and knowledgeable. Lots of good discussion. Yes.
8 There is tons of information on various parts of GWD, and the information was explained in detail. More time to cover more information. Yes. Gas lift. 9 All the information of the course is well founded and updated. Everything turned out very interesting and useful for the study of gas wells. More personal examples( of work experience) Get all course information( not enough time) Yes. Jim dominates the issues and has extensive knowledge, but the course is a little bit boring because he reads too much, read all slides. I recommend for future course read as little as possible and give more examples of all work experience he has, so the course will be more interesting. Ana Sandoval 10 the right amount time on each topic. Covered a broad array of subjects. Would have preferred more, but shorter breaks. Yes, no specific topics in mind. Jim did a great job. He explains complex concepts very well. 11 I that it was comprehensive—contained practical solutions that could be field implemented. CGC is very interesting, but last portion did seem a bit like a sales pitch. Ran out of time—but lots of material is covered so understandable. Absolutely. All the basic forms of artificial lift, especially with focus on mixed production streams and horizontal wells. Thank you! 12 The course was comprehensive in GWD, and was a good balance of higher level information with detailed explanations. More time to the volume of information. We skipped many topics and still ran out of time. 13 It was broken down to the basics. It was very easy for students without years of industry experience to understand. Don’t read word for word of the slides. Maybe take a few more quick breaks (~5 minutes) Yes. Anything available. It is very important to stay up to date on new technology and methods. Very good presenter. class. Stephanie Benson 14 Covered a lot of applications. Very intelligent instructor. Didn’t quite get through all applications(slides) Related economics with deliquification. Good job. 15 Practical—not simply theoretical ways to use technology, used real world experience and covered the important aspects. Some were repetitive. More pertinent to current energy picture. Move general to Horizontal/ Shale oil/gas studies 16 The slides are really I like the graphics and bullet points. More breaks but shorter breaks. I and others from my company came because we are working
Improved my understanding of GWD and how to prevent LL. primarily gas fields. When I was working unconventional oil, I went to the SWPSC. Good Nice hotel. 17 The content of the 101course is perfect. A lot of information was given. Jim Hacksma is a great speaker. He is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. There are a lot of slides that repeated information. I think we could cover more by shortening up the presentations. I’d also like to see more pictures and less text. Hands-on, physical units/products would be nice to see. Maybe even some slides with animation. Hotel – fantastic. Meals – delicious. Meeting rooms lack outlets. There are 2 per wall. 18 Presenter is expert. Technical displays. Split course into 2 classes, beginner(0-1 year experience) and intermediate(2-4 years) Horizontal Tubing Lateral flow Shale formation Shale IPR was excellent. 19 Broken down very well and easy to understand Slides were very in depth, so that majority of information can be seen later with minimal notes taken. 1 or 2 more breaks throughout the day. Proper gas lift design (valves placements, rates, etc.) Hunter Travelstead 20 Easy to follow Good presenter Covered materials in a clear/easy manner Maybe a few props. Yes New technologies HZ remedial techniques. conference and really enjoyed it. Joseph FLusche Course 102 – Plunger Lift for Gas Well Deliquification Course – Lead Instructor: Lynn Rowlan 1 Great pertinent information More participation Yes. 2 Troubleshooting examples 10 steps to optimization Initial videos were great demonstration Controls Shoot for fewer slides to allow deep discussion on examples presented. More time on optimization Yes – optimization of existing plunger lift installation. 3 Several presenters’ different point of view or different ways to explain helped More short breaks Yes.
7 Good speakers who can communicate effectively. Liked the real world troubleshooting aspects and detailed description on different pumps, rods and pumping unit types. Speed up the first part of presentation, basics to rod pumping. Could use a bit more time on trouble shooting and then go into a bit more detail on what is mechanically happening on surface or dowhole during the issue. Yes. Anything artificial lift related. 8 Knowledgeable speakers Sucker rod lift examples. More visual pictures, videos and case studies. Yes. On sucker rod lift software and automation. Course 106 – Use of Facilities, Compression for Gas Well Deliquification Course – Lead Instructor: Larry Harms 1 Instructor very knowledgeable. Covered amount of detail on each topic. Presented field data to demonstrate successful and unsuccessful applications. Encourage greater class participation. Absolutely. Continue same topics. Would be good to also see class on unconventional horizontal well deliquification. Thank you. 2 Clear, hands-on experience very useful. Amount of content is right to audience for one day. It is nice to print in color, so we can read the curves clearly in colors in the plots. Yes. This course is excellent. I would like to have it and recommend to colleagues. 3 Knowledge of materials and exercises For me, a lot of information in few time. I need more time for understanding the concept. I would go slower. Yes. All is welcome 4 Great instruction, Larry! Loved the clear examples. After lunch, I would drop CGC and allow time for some compressor selection problems. Make CGC a separate course with examples, so a person can learn how to apply that. Not sure. Hope to see you at the conference next year. 5 Well organized material Focus stayed on aspects most applicable to me (how to economically produce or improve performance of a well). Details on well performance graphs (impacted by compression methods) have been explained better. Yes. Facilities and compression.
