An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Advanced Drilling Best Practices
Comprehensive Techniques and Practical Solutions for Optimized Drilling Operations and Well Control
INTRODUCTION
Today's drilling personnel must have a working knowledge of all the required disciplines in order to effectively drill a well. This Advanced Drilling Best Practices training course provides all the fundamentals necessary to drill a well whether it is a shallow well or a complex, high pressure well.
This Oil & Gas Technology training course is also designed for engineers and field personnel involved in the planning and implementation of drilling training. 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 course will provide the participants with the theory behind most programs along with practical implementation. This EuroMaTech training course will also include advanced Mud Logging principles and operations.
This Advanced Drilling Best Practices 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.
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this Advanced Drilling Best Practices training course, 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
