    This course has been designed to help drilling engineering professionals understand the technologies, terminology, challenges, concepts, processes, and equipment used to drill High Pressure and High Temperature oil and gas wells.

    The course follows a typical HPHT operation and provides an understanding of the geological settings through well planning, drilling operations and well control challenges to the completion challenges in HPHT wells. Critical HPHT challenges are addressed in detail during the course. Some of the solutions such as managed pressure drilling are addressed with a focus on the issues that are being solved.

    This course will be a mix of video presentations, power points, and discussions, along with group exercises to discuss the challenges encountered in an HPHT program. At the end of the course, the participants should understand the complexities associated with HPHT operations and will gain an understanding of issues that must be addressed when drilling HPHT wells.

    This course addresses HPHT drilling issues and challenges. Participants will be expected to know many of the common conventional drilling technologies. The course does not address common drilling engineering such as trajectory design, casing design, mud systems, hole cleaning, or ballooning. However, where the HPHT environment has an effect on these drilling processes the course will highlight those specific issues.

    Drilling professionals with well design and operations experience desiring an understanding of the challenges faced in the HPHT drilling environment. This class can serve as an introduction to both early career and experienced drilling professionals for HPHT drilling technology.

    Participants must have a comprehension and understanding of well design, well construction operations, and management which will be necessary to grasp the concepts and challenges faced in the High Pressure and High Temperature environments. Participants need to be familiar with and understand basic geomechanics, drilling operations, well placement, well planning, and drilling fluids basics. An understanding of well control concepts and procedures is a plus.
