This course will teach participants what are the common causes of stuck pipe with an emphasis on stuck pipe caused from poor hole cleaning. Warning signs and indicators of impending stuck pipe complications will be covered so that the participants will be able to better design wells as to minimize the occurrence of stuck pipe. Recognition of proper or improper hole cleaning is a fundamental element of preventing stuck pipe events. Additionally by learning about wellbore stability, loss of circulation, importance of proper well design, drillstring design, and hole cleaning practices the participants will better understand what causes stuck pipe conditions and how to respond to them. Participants will take part in active discussions of real operational situations. Through these discussions participants will learn how to identify, what first actions to take, and solutions to employ to real stuck pipe events.
