Flowing Wells: Chokes
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this course, you will learn about the kinds of chokes used at a wellhead to control flowing wells, how they are installed, and how they are adjusted. You will also learn how to select the choke size needed for any particular well.
Target Audience
