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 Problems and Drilling Optimization. It covers the drilling industry, key terminologies and the basic process of drilling wells; the drilling rig, pipe sticking, lost circulation and blowouts; the types of drilling muds, properties and their role in addressing drilling challenges; the importance of effective hole cleaning, hydraulics optimization and impact on drilling operations; the drill string components, stresses and failure modes; and the causes of high torque and drag and methods to mitigate them.

 

Further, the course will also discuss the geological causes of borehole instability and techniques for maintaining borehole integrity; identifying, preventing and remediating differential sticking; the surveying and bottom hole assembly (BHA) design; the fundamentals, tools and techniques for directional and horizontal drilling; the extended reach drilling (ERD), underbalanced and pressure drilling; and the drilling optimization software, technology, real-time data analysis and decision making.

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the fundamentals of well control and the importance of maintaining wellbore pressure; the well control equipment and well control procedures, risk assessment and management and health, safety, and environmental (HSE) considerations; the cost management in drilling operations and the latest developments in high-performance fluids to address complex drilling challenges; the impact of robotics and automation on drilling efficiency and safety; and the sustainable practices in drilling operations.
