Production Technology (PT) determines the conceptual well design, ensures well integrity, optimizes production, and helps manage the life-cycle value of the well. Production Technology sits on the boundaries of development, wells, and production functions – representing production’s interests to the other disciplines. It aspires to be the integrator for delivering wells and production.
