    The Petrel Well Design course is designed specifically to learn the well planning fundamentals and Petrel drilling workflows through four (4) main topics: offset well analysis, well design, well positioning and real-time operations.

    You will be guided through the preparation stage for the data used in well design: this includes the project setup, data import and preparation processes. You will learn how to import well trajectories and targets from third-party applications, such as EDM. You will undertake well design exercises integrating all the elements of the well planning:

    • from making offset well analysis using drilling risks;
    • defining geological targets;
    • building drillable well paths to intercept geological targets;
    • running trajectory uncertainty analysis;
    • creating driller’s targets;
    • performing anti-collision analysis;
    • modifying the planned well path to avoid collision with nearby wells;
    • and finally generating reports and plotting.

    After the planning phase, you will learn how real-time data acquisitions are handled in Petrel.
