Course Level: Advanced
This course will cover selected areas of drilling engineering such as horizontal and extended reach drilling. The course is structured by reviewing some fundamental areas such as trajectory design, torque and drag calculations and hydraulics. The participant will develop an understanding of the fundamental principles and perform calculations to experience the behavior of the drilling system in practical terms.
We will study the integrated behavior of the drilling system and build a torque and drag simulator and a hydraulics simulator as part of the course. The participant will then be able to design a trajectory, select an adequate drill string for the problem, considering drilling string tension and compression (buckling). He will also 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.
The course will be concluded with a session about real-time monitoring of torque and drag and hydraulics, which will enable the participant to perform calculations and compare the model with the actual behavior of the well to perform analysis.
Each topic will be explained, then integrated in the simulator using an example. On that basis, the participant will then apply the new information in the course problem, which will be a 15 km extended reach well.
The course will typically provide theoretical background in the morning session and focus on exercises and problem solving in the afternoon session.
