-
A 2 day intensive course which examines
the technical and commercial fundamentals
of well design and the execution of an oil and gas drilling program.
About the Course
This intensive 2 day course will provide participants with a solid all-round grounding in the technologies, concepts, methods and language used in oil and gas drilling. The variables and uncertainties inherent in the subsurface data used to design a well will be highlighted and their potential impact on the drilling process will be explored. Participants will see how a well design incorporates this uncertainty and how execution of the drilling plan is adjusted to cope with differences and changes.
Benefits of attending
- Develop an understanding of the inputs, uncertainties and risks inherent in well design
- Understand the key roles of geology/petroleum engineering together with drilling engineering to deliver successful wells
- Examine the drilling operations process including drilling problems and risks
- Gain insights into new technologies and techniques
Key Course Highlights
- Types of wells
