DE1084 : Drilling Engineer: Drilling Efficiency, Problem Solving & Optimization Techniques

 This practical and highly-interactive workshop includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Drilling Engineer: Drilling Efficiency, Problem Solving and Optimization Techniques. It covers the drilling efficiency, well planning and design for efficiency, drill bit selection and hydraulics; the drill string and bottom hole assembly (BHA) design, mud systems and hole cleaning and rig selection and equipment capabilities; the real-time data acquisition, drilling performance metrics and visualization and analytics tools; the downhole dynamics and vibration analysis, drilling hydraulics monitoring; and the drill bit tracking and optimization. Further, the course will also discuss the structured problem-solving techniques, stuck pipe and hole problems and well control and kick management; the wellbore stability challenges, torque and drag optimization and cementing and well integrity issues; and the automated drilling systems, predictive analytics and machine learning and pressure management strategies. 

 During this interactive course, participants will learn the rig power consumption monitoring, fuel optimization and emissions reduction, water usage and cuttings disposal and regulatory compliance and reporting; the rotary steerable systems versus mud motors, real-time downhole tool adjustments, high-temperature, high-pressure tool selection and novel drilling fluids; the value stream mapping of drilling operations, eliminating non-value-added activities, standard operating procedures and checklists and continuous improvement culture; the risk management and safety integration; and the implementation roadmap and change management.
