Who should attend?

This course is intended for trainee Drilling/ Well Engineers and trainee Well Planners.

Aims

At the end of this 4 week course attendees should be able to:

• Have an understanding of basic Petroleum Reservoir Engineering concepts and fundamentals.
• Perform offset well reviews.
• Prepare deterministic and probabilistic time and cost estimates.
• Show an understanding of subsurface inputs for Well Design.
• Apply casing design theory to different scenarios.
• Compile and create a comprehensive drilling and completions programme. 
• Show competency in Well Design Modelling programmes. 

Topics

This 2 week course focuses on preparing engineers who have some operations practical exposure already and are familiar with drilling equipment and the well construction process.

The course teaches the fundamentals of :

• Picking mud weights; casing design; casing seat selection.
• Risk analysis; operations performance; NPT events; performance metrics; mud logs/composite logs; daily drilling reports.
• Pore pressure calculations; fracture gradient calculations; leak off test analysis.
• Drilling & completions programme; equipment ordering; final cost estimate (AFE); peer reviews/DWOP; logistics preparation; hole section equipment lists.
