Course Outcomes

Delegates will gain the knowledge and skills to:

Apply fundamental principles of rock mechanics, pore pressure, and fracture gradient to well planning.

Design key components of a drilling program, including casing, cementing, and drilling fluid systems.

Evaluate and select appropriate drilling bottom-hole assemblies (BHAs) for directional and horizontal wells.

Implement well control procedures and principles to maintain well integrity.

Design and optimize well completion configurations for specific reservoir and production needs.

Analyze and troubleshoot common drilling and completion challenges.

Understand the critical elements of well economics, risk assessment, and performance monitoring.

Key Course Highlights

At the end of this course, you’ll understand:

  • Fundamentals of drill-string design, bit selection, and hydraulics optimization.
  • Advanced techniques in directional drilling, including MWD/LWD and rotary steerable systems.
  • Well control methods and barrier philosophy (primary and secondary well control).
  • Casing and cementing design for wellbore integrity and zonal isolation.
  • Completion types including open-hole, cased-hole, sand control, and intelligent completions.
  • The role of drilling fluids and completion fluids in wellbore stability and productivity.
  • Key performance indicators and drilling data analysis for continuous improvement.
Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for drilling engineers, well engineers, completion engineers, production engineers, and wellsite supervisors. It is also highly suitable for petroleum engineers, geoscientists, service company personnel, and technical professionals from operator companies seeking to deepen their knowledge of modern drilling practices, wellbore construction, and completion design for conventional and unconventional reservoirs.
