Course Description:

This course covers detailed well planning and optimization at the rig site are essential in the present business environment. This course puts all the pieces together for an integrated systems view of well planning and construction. Also in this course, technical concepts are reviewed and specific design steps and tools are used for the key planning processes of casing design, drilling fluid, hydraulics, bit selection running conditions and cementing program. Case studies are analyzed and worked as team projects, and participants are encouraged to bring case studies to class.

Course Goal:

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to have a through understanding of the entire well planning, implementation and analysis process, and specific design processes and checklists
