Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of drilling optimization. It covers the risk analysis, technical limit and techniques to quantum change limits; the key performance indicators (KPI) and the impact of wellbore stability; the drill string mechanics, well design concepts and well construction design to wellsite operations; the drilling fluid calculations, directional drilling and measurement while drilling systems (MWD); and the controllable and non-controllable non-production time (NPT). Further, the course will also discuss the performance limitations, stuck pipe refresher, measurements and technology enablers; the ROP monitoring and improvement techniques; the typical drilling plan and drilling optimization; the optimization elements and petroleum rock mechanics; the wellbore stability analysis, rock strength and rock failure; the cost-time analysis, common drilling problems, limit state function and probability failure function; and the process optimization and rate of penetration monitoring.During this interactive course, participants will learn the technical limits and quantum change in limits; the advanced drilling techniques; the software tools, well site parameters and drill string inventory optimization; the use of kill sheets; and the task analysis.
