Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises.  Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a good working knowledge on directional drilling, horizontal and sidetracking. Design considerations and operational aspects of directional and horizontal drilling will be highlighted in the course. The course will increase the understanding of the operations carried out by directional drillers and how directional and horizontals wells are planned and optimized. The basic applications and techniques for multilateral wells are also covered in the course. 
 
The course will provide participants with necessary skills to plan and execute the drilling of directional and horizontal 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 hands-on computer sessions for analyzing directional planning and simulating directional drilling process. 
 
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 multi-lateral 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.
