Why Choose this Training Course?

Why Choose this Training Course?

This PetroKnowledge training course will focus to improve the participants’ understanding of the design and operational aspects of high angle drilling. The practices for complicated highly deviated wells will be covered and participants will receive instructions on planning and evaluating these wells based on the objectives and how to perform the proper planning for an ERD well. In addition, this PetroKnowledge training course will cover which drilling parameters should be focused during both planning and execution for a well with fewer problem well.

This PetroKnowledge training course will highlight:

  • ERD and highly deviated candidate wells
  • Understanding challenges and limitations
  • Calculating important parameters
  • Understanding Drilling/Tubular run challenges and solutions

What are the Goals?
