DIRECTIONAL, HORIZONTAL, AND MULTILATERAL DRILLINGIntroduction
This course builds a firm foundation in the principles and practices of directional drilling, calculations, and planning for directional and horizontal wells. Specific problems associated with directional/horizontal drilling such as torque, drag, hole cleaning, logging, and drill string component design are included. Participants will receive instruction on planning and evaluating horizontal wells based on the objectives of the horizontal well. The basic applications and techniques for multilateral wells are covered in the course. Additionally, they will become familiar with the tools and techniques used in directional drilling such as survey instruments, bottomhole assemblies, motors, steerable motors, and steerable rotary systems. Participants will be able to predict wellbore path based on historical data and determine the requirements to hit the target.
Objective
- Make survey calculations.
- Interpret TVD, polar and rectangular coordinates, and vertical section.
- Interpret dogleg severity and the problems associated with dogleg severity.
- Plan a two-dimensional directional well.
- Plan horizontal wells based on the objectives of the well.
- Determine the best multi-lateral completion for an application.
- Determine declination and non-magnetic drilling collar selection.
- Apply the best survey instrument for the job.
- Directionally drill with rotary BHAs, jetting, whipstocks, motor, steerable motors, and rotary steerable systems
- Drill horizontally underbalanced
- Interpret torque and drag and determine what factors will affect the torque and drag.
- Determine cementing requirements for directional wells.

Methodology
A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your analysis and experiences. Tests of the multiple-choice type will be made available daily to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.
Very useful Course Materials will be given.
