By the end of the course, delegates will:
Be able to develop an understanding of the fundamental principles and perform calculations to experience the behavior of the drilling system in practical terms.;
Be able to design a trajectory, select an adequate drill string for the problem, considering drilling string tension and compression (buckling);
Be able to determine system pressure losses, annular velocities to evaluate cuttings transport, as well as ECD in comparison with a pore pressure and fracture gradient, etc
Review drilling fundamentals
Directional drilling
Torque and drag
Hydraulics
Complex trajectory design
Drill string and BHA design
Hydraulics optimisation
Review of fundamental measurements on the rig to perform real-time monitoring and analysis of the above discussed parameters
