Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Drill String and Bits-Drill-String Design and Failure Prevention Bit Selection, Bit Hydraulics. It covers the drill string and BHA; the functions of drill pipe, drillcollars, grades of drill pipe and strength properties; the thread types and tool joints; the calculations of approximate weight of drill pipe and tool joint; the drill collar weight and neutral point; the bending strength ratio and margin of over-pull; and the drill string design methods as per API method. During this interactive course, participants will learn the slip crushing, pressure-area method, stuck point calculations for drill string weight and jar placement; the drill string design for directional and horizontal wells; the DST considerations, torque and drag calculations; the types of subs, jars, shock subs, reamers and stabilizers; the drill string failure identification and inspection methods; the fluid flow in wellbores, laminar and turbulent flow; the Bingham plastic and power law calculations; the hydraulics calculations and ECD calculation; and the pumps and liner selection and hole cleaning.
