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 good working knowledge on directional drilling. Design considerations and operational aspects of directional drilling will be highlighted in the course. The course will increase the understanding of the operations carried out by directional drillers and how directional wells are planned and optimized.
The course will provide participants with necessary skills to plan and execute the drilling of directional wells. It emphasizes the planning of well paths with single and multiple targets and selection of appropriate bottomhole assembly and drillstring for a given well path trajectory. The course also provides several opportunities for practical learning using videos.
Specific problems associated with directional drilling such as torque, drag, hole cleaning, logging, and drill string component design are included. Participants will receive instruction on planning and evaluating directional wells based on the objectives of the well. 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.
