DE0852 : Advanced Drilling Practices

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 for engineers and field personnel involved in the planning and implementation of drilling programs. The course covers all aspects of drilling technology, emphasizing both theory and practical application. Today?s drilling personnel must have a working knowledge of all these disciplines in order to effectively drill a well. The course provides all the fundamentals necessary to drill a well whether it is a shallow well or a complex, high pressure well. Computer programs are used to design many aspects of the modern well and the course will provide the participants with the theory behind most programs along with practical implementation. Course will also include advanced Mud Logging principles and operations. Further, the course will also discuss the drilling process, drilling sequence, BHA design and PDC bit design; the rheology models, filtration control, open hole logging and cased hole logging; the components of BHA design; the stuck pipe, fishing operations and tools; the side track operations including whip stock technique and safety alerts; and the sticking mechanisms and drilling practices
