Day 1
The Well Construction Process
Where drilling fits into the Exploration and Production (E&P) process
Exploration, appraisal, and development drilling
Rig components and operation organization
Risk management, hazards, and loss prevention methods
On the first day, participants will learn about the well construction process. This
will cover topics such as where drilling fits into the E&P process, what information
can be obtained from drilling, and the exploration, appraisal, and development of a
well. Participants will join in a discussion over drilling rig components, crew, and
operation organization. Well costing, AFE, and drilling operation procedures will
be discussed as well. The day will conclude with drilling risk management,
hazards, and loss prevention methods.
Day 2
Drilling Fundamentals
Sedimentary rock types, properties, and impacts on drilling
Formation pressures and formation fracture gradient
Predicting overpressure methods and detection
Wellbore instability
Drilling fundamentals will be the focus of the second day. Participants will learn
about different rock types, properties, and their impact on drilling. Formation
pressures, such as hydrostatic, overburden, and pore pressures will be covered,
as well as formation fracture gradient. The methods for predicting overpressures
before drilling a well will be discussed. Participants will also get the chance to
learn about limit test and leak of test applications in drilling. The day will end with
discussion over wellbore instability, kick, and kick tolerance.
Day 3
Preliminary Well Design
Preliminary processes
Components and contributors of well design
Direction drilling
Day three will cover the preliminary well design. Participants can expect to learn
about the processes that occur prior to well design, such as land leasing,
contracting, and site preparation. Well design components and programming will
be discussed, along with directional drilling, well paths, wellbore surveying, and the
methods used to deflect well paths. Types of fluids, additives, bits, and casings
will all be covered and an explanation of each’s function will be given. Different
types of wellheads, as well as primary and remedial cementing will be discussed.
Day 4
Programming and Drilling
Components and contributors of drilling programming
Operations

9/14/2014 Drilling Engineering
Problems: preventions and solutions
Calculations for killing a well
Programming and drilling a well will be the focus of day four. The components of,
and contributors to, a drilling program will be the main focus of this day.
Participants will learn about highlevel operational sequences, the contents of a
daily drilling report, realtime operations, and the common types of drilling
problems. Well kicks, basic calculations required to kill a well, and the main
functions of the BOP system will also be covered. The day will end with
participants learning about the difference between a blow out and a well control
situation.
Day 5
Evaluating and Completing
Types of evaluation methods and application
LWD and Geosteering
Well completion schematics and completion string
Intelligent completions
Well suspension and abandonment techniques
The class will end with participants learning how to evaluate and complete a well.
The common types of well evaluation methods will be covered, along with different
formation properties obtained from logs, LWD, and Geosteering. Perforating
techniques, different types of well completions, and well completion schematics will
be discussed. The day will end with participants learning about the main
components of a completion string, basic descriptions of intelligent completions, as
well as well suspension and well abandonment techniques.
