COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive workshop includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-theart simulators.
 
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of High-Angle & Extended Reach Drilling. It covers the fundamentals of directional drilling, well planning principles for HADR/ERD and geomechanics and borehole stability; the measurement methods, survey error models, anticollision planning, dogleg severity and toolface orientation; the drilling tools and BHA design and well trajectory design and planning; and the torque and drag modeling, casing and liner design in ERD and drillstring design for extended reach. Further, the course will also discuss the hydraulic optimization in long-reach wells and hole cleaning in high-angle wells; managing ECD and pressure control; the drilling fluids for HADR/ERD including reaming, backreaming and wiper trips; the lost circulation and stuck pipe prevention, real-time monitoring and decision making; the casing running in long-reach wells, cementing design for high-angle wells and wellbore cleaning and displacement; and the liner installation, hanger selection and completion strategies in ERD wells.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the HSE challenges in high-angle operations, ERD risk identification and mitigation including drilling troubleshooting in HADR/ERD; the types and causes of vibration, modeling and monitoring tools, downhole tools for vibration reduction and surface parameter adjustments; and the best practices in ERD execution, cost analysis and economic considerations.
