Introduction

The attendees will strength the design considerations and operational aspects of directional, Extended Reach Drilling.

The course will deliver a detailed understanding of the latest extended reach drilling techniques and the latest industry standards used in high angle well construction. The content can be customized to client specific requirements or to a particular well project for closed courses.

The evolution of extended reach drilling techniques is explained against a background of showing what can go wrong if correct planning or rig site operational practices are not fully implemented.

This is very much an operationally focused course which looks to deliver a knowledge level that can immediately be put to use not just in ERD projects but in improving performance on smaller wells and substantially cutting drilling costs from development projects.

The knowledge from this course can be directly applied to ongoing drilling operations or future well planning and will have a dramatic impact on drilling performance.

All the topics are placed in their operational context and an understanding of how each topic is inter-related with the other subject areas in the course is developed throughout the week.

Throughout the course areas in which ERD techniques can adversely impact the well cost or increase the well risk are detailed and the mitigations for these risks are discussed..

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivate everybody to find the right answers. You will also be encouraged to raise your own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using your own analysis and experiences. Tests of multiple-choice type will be made available on a daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

Very useful Course Materials will be given.

30% Lectures
30% Workshops and work presentation
20% Group Work& Practical Exercises
20% Videos& General Discussion
