Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises 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 HPHT drilling design and operational practices. It covers the HPHT drilling including its differences, essentials, project aims, objectives, challenges and associated standards and practices; the HPHT geological hazards, risk assessment on HPHT reservoirs geology in the HPHT environment and risk assessment; the aspect of HPHT reservoirs and well architecture specificities of HPHT wells; the casing design specific to HPHT; the OCTG choice, OCTG connector choice and surface equipment for HPHT wells; and the well equipment covering liner, wellheads and casing hangers.
Further, the course will also discuss the annulus management systems, subsea HPHT specificities and downhole equipment challenges; the casing wear, wellhead growth and fluids and cement aspects of HT environments; the kick tolerance modeling, hydraulic modeling in HPHT operations, logging, in-field drilling and rig inspection program; the equipment specific to HPHT, hydrates and HPHT checklists; and the HPHT procedures, HPHT coring, wireline logging, wellbore breathing, well control and ballooning.
During this highly interactive course, participants will learn the gas expansion, mud weight management, well control procedures and pressure drilling management; the fingerprinting connections, swab and surge, compressibility test, drain back/flow volume and contingency planning; and the well control emergencies and HPHT completions.
