    Well Architecture and drilling practices to achieve well plans are critical in meeting AFE as well as exploitation goals.  This course can help understand the essential aspects of well architecture and drilling in unconventional resource plays enabling asset team members to make better field development decisions. This course discusses some of the high angle lateral well issues and ties the drilling mechanics with the geoscience covered in previous weeks.

    This course covers the necessary fundamentals of well architecture and drilling in shale plays.  The class includes: best practices in survey and anti-collision; well design and pad drilling; overview of motors and rotary steerable systems; geosteering, MWD systems, and key LWD tools for unconventional lateral wells.  BHA design & components, bit selection and optimization and drilling fluids; hydraulics, hole cleaning, wellbore integrity, torque and drag.  Throughout the course, field examples and practical aspects are shown to reinforce the learning experience.

    Engineers and Geoscientists interested in Shale Gas training.
