Introduction to HPHT Completions
Disciplines: Completions | Production and Operations
Course Description
HPHT fields are increasing in relevance every year in different areas of the world. Conventional fields have represented the vast majority of application during the last years. However, unconventional fields, which require in some cases very high pressures to achieve the required fracture gradients and extend the flow area are becoming a very common area of application for HPHT well completion designs.

CEUs
Engineers are responsible for enhancing their professional competence throughout their careers. Licensed, chartered, and/or certified engineers are sometimes required by government entities to provide proof of continued professional development and training. Training credits are defined as Continuing Education Units (CEUs) or Professional Development Hours (PDH).
Attendees of SPE training courses earn 0.8 CEUs for each day of training. We provide each attendee a certificate upon completion of the training course.
Cancellation Policy
All cancellations must be received no later than 14 days prior to the course start date. Cancellations made after the 14-day window will not be refunded. Refunds will not be given due to no show situations.

Instructor
Miguel Rosato is currently a High Pressure / High Temperature (HPHT) Completion Advisor for Petronas Carigali, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He has 17 years of oil and gas experience in onshore and offshore (subsea and platform) well completions, workover, DST and well testing design. Compeltion design include HPHT completions and SDT, subsea ESP completion, different types of sand control lower completions (open hole and cased hole gravel pack, stand alone and expandable sanc screens), and dual completions. Previously, Rosato worked at various prominent operating companies such as ENI, Total, Maersk Oil, and BP. His countries of expertise include Venezuela, Indonesia, Egypt, UAE, Oman, Italy, Nigeria, UK, Iraq, China, and Malaysia. Rosato has been an SPE Distinguished Member for 13 years and has been actively involved in many SPE events. He holds a Master degree in Mechanical Engineering, Master of Sciences in Petroleum Engineering, and a Master in Business Administration.
