DRILLING & RESERVOIR
Introduction

This training course provides all the fundamentals necessary to drill a well whether it is a shallow well or a complex, high pressure well. It is also designed for engineers and field personnel involved in the planning and implementation of drilling programs. This covers all aspects of drilling technology, emphasizing both theory and practical application.

Computer programs are used to design many aspects of the modern well and this training will provide the participants with the theory behind most programs along with practical implementation. This seminar will also include advanced Mud Logging principles and operations.

This training course builds a firm foundation in the principles and practices of drilling and well planning, drilling fluid, drill string design, hydraulic optimization and drilling hole problems. Participants will learn the components of drilling string and how to use each in optimum ways, how to evaluate the WOB and select the proper size of drill collar. Participants will also be able to apply the practical solution for analyzing the performance of drill string design for both vertical and direction holes.

Objective

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

·Drill a well cost effectively and maximize penetration rate &  Evaluate stuck pipe problems and avoid potential problems by optimizing hole cleaning and ROP

·Design, drill string and BOP / wellheads & Design and implement bit and hydraulics programs

BHA design for proper deviation, directional and horizontal drilling control & Recognize and evaluate well control problems by effectively using Mud Logging principles and techniques

Methodology

Our courses are highly interactive, typically taking a case study approach that we have found to be an effective method of fostering discussions and transferring knowledge. Participants will learn by active participation during the program through the use of individual exercises, questionnaires, team exercises, training videos and discussions of “real life” issues in their organizations.
The material has been designed to enable delegates to apply all of the material with immediate effect back in the workplace.
