Advanced Drilling Practice

The goal of this course is to: Provide asset team members with advanced techniques for exploiting reservoirs to produce more oil faster, cheaper, and at minimum environmental impact and also to expose participants to the applications, and limitations of advanced, and emerging drilling and completions techniques. Enable participants to understand the operations carried out by directional drillers and contribute to the design of directional and horizontal wells. The course covers the fundamentals, design considerations and operational aspects
