DRILLING & RESERVOIR TRAINING

Introduction

High Pressure (HP) (>10,000 psi) and High Temperature (HT) (>300°F) conditions are becoming more routine drilling targets worldwide in the pursuit of deep gas reserves. This course delivers a comprehensive review of HPHT well design, engineering and drilling requirements.

This introductory course provides an understanding of High-Pressure and High-Temperature (HPHT) drilling and completion operations. The course is specifically designed to provide an understanding of the challenges associated with the design and construction of HPHT wells. The course covers not only theory, technicalities and practicalities of drilling and completing HPHT wells but it also covers real examples and exercises.

The content emphasis in this course/workshop is placed on current regulatory and standard operating principles of HPHT – right from a well's concept phase, through pre-planning, rig and equipment selection, the basis of well design, detailed design, engineering, offset study, and final drilling of the critical HPHT transition and reservoir zones. The challenges of geological risks and uncertainty with drilling fluids, cement design, equipment assurance and drilling problem prevention, solving and decision making, all require special attention. The course draws on several HPHT case studies from different drilling environments in conjunction with instructor-led facilitation, use of multi-media files and most importantly individual and group-led engagement sessions. The course equips a multi-disciplinary team to manage and control the drilling hazards and risks that exist in HPHT wells. This course also delivers a participative, practical program where individual and teamwork skills are developed to meet the HPHT drilling challenges presented.

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 motivating 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 the multiple-choice type will be made available on a daily basis to examine the effectiveness of delivering the course.

All presentations are made in excellent colorful power point. Very useful Course Materials will be given.
