Drilling Optimization and Well Completion Course
Introduction:
For more than 12 years, we have conducted Drill String Design workshops catering to a wide range of operations worldwide. Our workshop materials are regularly updated to incorporate the latest technological advancements in near-vertical and high-angle well designs, while ensuring a strong foundation in the fundamental principles.
Furthermore, we offer customization of workshop content to address specific operational scenarios and software applications as per the requirements of our clients.
Course Objectives:
- Place the drill string design process in context with other planning and operational considerations
- Refresh underlying physics of drill string failures and mechanical properties of drill string materials
- Clarify performance properties of drill string components and how to apply design margins
- Design cost-effective BHAs and match them to your bit
- Gain specific application experience analyzing common load cases for both near-vertical and high-angle situations: Tension loads, Torque loads, Combined tension-torque loads, Fatigue loads, Buckling loads
- Understand the basis for industry software design tools, including torque and drag, casing wear, and hydraulics
- Identify drilling tools and operational practices to reduce both torque and drag and casing wear
- Diagnose and mitigate vibration to reduce drill string damage and failure
- Optimize your drill string inspection program using the latest industry standards
Who Should Attend?
Operator, drilling contractor and service company engineers, drilling supervisors and superintendents. This is an intensive technical workshop. A calculator is required and a laptop is strongly recommended.
