Course Description

Earlier, the drilling goal was reaching the TD. Nowadays, the objective of drilling a well is to drill it with most efficiency, less problems and minimum cost. Good planning, emergency plans and optimization of drilling parameters, will minimize drilling time. Predicting and mitigating expected problems, will minimize lost time, thus minimizing the overall well cost. In this course we will use correlation data to design the well and to optimize parameters to minimize drilling time. We will discuss the good practices depending on gained experience from previously drilled wells.

Course Objectives

  • Review drilling data and plan the well
  • Incorporate completion plans into the drilling plan
  • Drill a well cost effectively and maximize penetration rate
  • Evaluate stuck pipe problems and avoid potential problems
  • Evaluate and maintain drilling fluids
  • Optimize hole cleaning
  • Design casing, drill string and BOP/wellheads
  • Evaluate and implement cementing programs
  • Design and implement bit and hydraulics programs
  • Incorporate directional drilling and deviation control
  • Recognize and evaluate well control problems

Who Should Attend?

  • Drilling Supervisors
  • Drilling Engineers,
  • Tool pushers
  • Managers
  • Technical support personnel.
