INTRODUCTION TO DRILLING ENGINEERING

ABOUT THE COURSE
Gives a general introduction to the concepts and terminology used to drill wells for oil- and gas production. It explains the geological boundary conditions and relevant properties of rock. Furthermore the drilling process is explained in a step by step manner. Process knowledge is then combined with a review of the type of surface and downhole equipment, which is typically used to drill state of the art wells.

DESIGNED FOR
New Drilling Engineers, Petroleum Engineers, Reservoir Engineers, Geologists, Geophysicists, Service Company Specialist Engineers (Cementing, Logging, Testing, Drilling Fluids, Drill Bits, Surface Facilities), Drilling Contractor Staff, Business Development Managers, Field Service Managers, R&D Engineers, etc.

YOU WILL LEARN
Participants will learn:
1. Understanding of the geological setting and boundary conditions where the well is going to be drilled.
2. Knowledge about the drilling environment and combining the well requirements defined by geologist
3. How the well design process is conducted, includes the planning of the well path to reach a certain subsurface target from a defined surface location together with the design of the well construction with casing and cementing program.
