Develop measurable skills and capabilities
This course will expose participants to the terminology, concepts, processes, and equipment used to drill oil and gas wells. The planning process followed by drilling engineers will be covered to the extent that participants will understand the process and be able to initiate a complete well design.
Day 1 - The Well ConstructionProcess
On the first day, participants will learnabout the well construction process. This will cover topics such as wheredrilling fits into the E&P process, what information can be obtained fromdrilling, and the exploration, appraisal, and development of a well. Well costing, AFE, and drillingoperation procedures will be discussed as well. The day will concludewith an introduction about drilling mechanics
Day 2 - Drilling Fluids and hydraulics
The second day will focus on the basics of drilling fluids. Participants will learn about the functions of the different drilling fluids as water based, oils based, synthetic based , air based, Air/water and Air/polymer. Drilling hydraulics and rheology will also be covered on this day, key for an optimal engineering.
Day 3 - Casing Design and Well Control
This day will focus firstly on casing design, both from an engineering and an operation perspective. Design concepts will be covered for a wide range of straightforward, as well as hostile environments. The course will examine the nomenclature of casing design, manufacturing processes, material properties and material selection. The theory of burst, collapse, and axial loading will be discussed, along with design policies and procedures. Important API specifications and other industry standards will be discussed in order for the participants to become familiar with these documents. Casing setting depths and depth design concepts will also be covered, key for an optimal engineering.
This day fill follows with Wellheads, Well kicks, basic calculations required tokill a well, and the main functions of the BOP system will also be covered. The day will end with participants learning about the difference betweena blow out and a well control situation.
Day 4 - Cementing and Rig Systems
The importance of effective cement placement will be taught, as well as the hardware used to accomplish quality primary cement jobs. Cementing additives, Mud removal methods, techniques, and systems will be covered so that the participants will be able to recommend appropriate methods for their wells.
Following with the day Rig systems description will continue, key variables to design the hoisting, rotary and circulation system will be touched to enhance the student skills to choose the most optimal tools.
Day 5 - Rig systems continuation, and completion and fishing introduction
We'll be spending the final day highlighting the importance of each one of the characteristics of the well control rig components. Students will be more familiar with several new drilling concepts and will link it all, in key concepts and rig elements used to drill while in every operation a safer well. The day will continue with the power system in which all the efforts are summarized. All the energy needed to drill an specific well design is calculated knowing about the components details. Further the automation system, we'll drive the student thru digital Intelligence concepts and robotics applied to the rig.
At the end we'll make a n introduction about completions and fishing operations.
This course is aimed at entry level drilling engineers.
Day 1 - The value of drilling, well types, Time versus depth curve, AFE, The drilling team, Trajectory Design, Directional Drilling, Drill String Design and Bit design.
Day 2 - Fluids engineering, Drilling hydraulics, rheology.
Day 3 - Casing design, Wellheads and Well Control
Day 4 - Cementing operations, cementing equipment, primary cementing, stage and liner cementing, Rig types, hoisting system, rotary system, circulating system.
Day 5 - Rig well control system, Rig automation system, rig power system, Completions and Fishing
Having some exposure in the oilfield will be beneficial though not essential. Simple calculations will be performed during this course and participants will need to be able to operate a basic hand held calculator.
