Description

Designed for you, if you are...

• A drilling, production or operations engineer, field supervisor, toolpusher, manager or technical support person

How we build your confidence

• The course is constructed as a live instructor-led training with case studies, videos, and exercises presented during class.
• You will receive instruction on planning and evaluating deviated and horizontal wells and learn how to perform simple calculations associated with well survey. The basic applications and techniques for multi-lateral wells are also covered in the course.
• A strong focus will be on the tools and techniques used in directional drilling such as survey instruments, bottomhole assemblies, motors, steerable motors and steerable rotary systems.
• As an independent course, it offers the most complete overview of geo-steering tools.

The benefits from attending

• Make survey calculations
• Interpret TVD, polar and rectangular coordinates and vertical section
• Interpret dogleg severity and the problems associated with dogleg severity
• Plan a two-dimensional directional well
• Plan horizontal wells based on the objectives of the well
• Determine the best multi-lateral completion for an application
• Determine declination and non-magnetic drilling collar selection
• Apply the best survey instrument for the job
• Directionally drill with rotary BHAs, jetting, whipstocks, motor, steerable motors and rotary steerable systems
• Understand the principles of various rotary steerable systems and their selection
• Interpret torque and drag and determine what factors will affect them
• Determine cementing requirements for directional wells
• Predict wellbore path based on historical data and determine the requirements to hit the target
