Course Description

This course will cover a practical overview of the Wellbore instability, stuck pipe mechanics, and detail emphasis in hole cleaning conditions, practices, procedures and monitoring.  The course focuses on correct responses by individuals and teams, early warning signs, and minimizing the impact to drilling operations. Through world-class presentations, practical discussion, and the best reference and instructional materials available, delegates hone their knowledge of basic drilling technology and how it relates to avoiding NPT.
 

Course Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, participant will be able to:

• Identify mechanisms and risk factors that lead to stuck pipe incidents (Wellbore Instability, Hole Cleaning, Differential Sticking, and Wellbore Geometry)
• Assess mechanics of wellbore stresses and the impact on wellbore stability
• Analyze trends to identify early warning signs of developing wellbore problems
• Implement effective drilling and tripping practices
• Make cost-effective choices in planning fishing operations
