Upon completion, training participants (Oil & Gas Production engineers, technicians and operators) will :

1. Identify ESP operating problems by analyzing traditional motor amperage readings.
2. Evaluate the root cause of ESP operating issues by use of advanced continual process improvement methods.
3. Lead a team based root cause remedy process to tackle the ESP operating problem set.
4. Assess and report on proper remedy to resolve respective ESP operating problems.
5. Demonstrate preparation of at least one case study report of financial operations savings, and / or improved revenue from increased oil production utilizing newly learned troubleshooting techniques.

At its core, these proposed objectives define the major "take-aways" that engineers and production foremen will learn after completing the training. This training is designed exclusively for oil & gas operators.
