E-415 - Practical Aspects of Well Planning & Costing

10 Days FOR/PAWPCE
Overview

LEVEL
Foundation

AUDIENCE
Young engineers, drilling and completion superintendents already, or about to be involved in well design and
planning

PURPOSE
To provide a comprehensive overview of all steps one should take to properly plan and budget oil and gas
exploration or development wells, from pre-planning with geoscientists all the way to delivery

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
To review the different parameters involved in oil or gas well planning
To identify major concerns and plan for dealing with them
To understand procedures and methods for designing oil or gas wells and preparing drilling programs
To learn how to estimate drilling time and costs, along with corresponding margins of error
To grasp importance of effective well engineering and planning
To follow efficiently well planning and costing sequences

WAYS AND MEANS

Interactive course with case studies and practical exercises
A well case history will be used to build an AFE and a time drilling curve as a model for each section of this course
