Discipline

DRILLLING

Introduction

Today's drilling personnel must have a working knowledge of all the required disciplines in order to effectively drill a well. This Drilling Problems and Optimization training seminar provides all the fundamentals necessary to drill a well whether it is a shallow well or a complex, high pressure well.

This training course is also designed for engineers and field personnel involved in the planning and implementation of drilling programs. This covers all aspects of drilling problems, emphasizing prevention and optimizing planning and implementation of all drilling parameters.

This training 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.

Objective

By the end of this training seminar, 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

Audience

This training seminar is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

Drilling Engineers
Well Site Supervisors
Drilling Contractors
Drilling Supervisors
Trainee Drillers
Rig Engineers

Content

This Drilling Problems and Optimization training will utilize several learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. The following advantages would be achieved:

Avoid or minimize the operational daily drilling problems
Reduction in the cost of the well and avoiding the risk
Enhancing the overall well performance
Extending the well life and control it
Ensuring the well integrity
Obtain integrating knowledge to mitigate and eliminate the drilling problems
Proper well control, in addition, how to predict and analyzing all the warning signs to eliminate all kinds of problems
