Course Description

INTRODUCTION

In the development of a hydrocarbon reservoir, many wells are drilled and required to be completed, to allow the hydrocarbon to be produced. This training course is designed to give new engineers and non-drilling professionals more knowledge of rig components, drilling operations and possible risks during these critical times of oil and gas development phase.

During this training course, you will have a better understanding on, how to deal with drillers and rig operators, attending follow-up and technical meetings related to drilling phase. You will also learn the existing challenges, logistical considerations and risks faced by drilling engineers and rig crew.

This training course on Drilling Essentials for Non-Drilling Professionals will highlight:

  • Provision of optimum development plan
  • Overview on rig components and wells’ constructions
  • Ensure safety
  • Maximize the integrity and reliability of well components, completion over the entire life of the completed well and its effect on the operational cost and production plan
  • Overview on well control importance and procedures

Objectives

By the end of this Drilling Essentials for Non-Drilling Professionals training course, participants will be able to:

  • Know the difference between oil and gas reservoirs and their effect on the drilling operations and development plans
  • Describe the purpose and generic operating principles for major rig equipment components
  • Be familiar of the relationship between their roles and the drilling operations
  • Describe the well construction and how this happens
  • Assess well safety requirements and capabilities inherent in well design
  • Familiar with recommend functional capability of completion strings and well integrity
  • Asset to handle some of expected critical well control situations

Training Methodology

The training methodology will combine presentations with interactive selected video materials that will be presented with instructor explanation and delegates` comments. Delegates will be encouraged to participate actively in relating their particular inquires to the topics of their interest through group discussions.
