Course Description

This course provides a comprehensive overview of drilling technologies currently available and covers the essential principles and practices of drilling engineering. The course provides participants with an introduction to advanced drilling topics such as High-Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) drilling, modern drilling technologies (i.e., casing drilling, unconventional drilling methods), special well design, drilling problems and their solutions. Throughout the course, delegates will be guided through the planning and evaluation stages of drill string design. They will learn how to perform simple calculations associated with well tubular design. Advanced drilling techniques such as casing drilling or coiled tubing drilling are also covered in the course. In addition, participants will become confident using the tools and techniques for casing or tubing drilling such as surface equipment, bottom hole assemblies (BHA), etc.
