About Training
This course examines the difficulties, challenges and problems facing today’s deepwater drilling programme designers and personnel where wells are being drilled in increasingly difficult downhole and environmental conditions with ever increasing cost and legislation further contributing to design and operational pressures.
Case histories referencing both successes and failures are referred to throughout the course to maximise the learning / experience transfer process and delegates will have the opportunity to both critique and examine recent deepwater well failures and successes drilled in different parts of the world to complete, through teamwork study, the knowledge-gain process.
In order to climb the learning curve as expeditiously and effectively as possible, the course comprises five modules. Five modules are a more effective way of learning than one large module. They are all specifically designed to take personnel with existing offshore experience into the deepwater arena through the use of training material (text, examples, videos and calculations) and teamwork exercises such that personnel, at the end of these modules, know how to design and drill difficult deepwater wells with semi-submersible rigs and drillships safely, economically and optimally.
Training Objectives
To understand the key drivers behind successful Deepwater Drilling Optimisation so that their wells are successful
1. Superior Drilling Programme – Upon completion of the course you will be able to write a superior Deepwater Drilling Programme if you’re an Engineer.
2. Superior Operational Performance – If you are a Driller you will learn the operational benefits of reviewing the successful and unsuccessful Case Histories from around the globe.
3. Improved Knowledge – You will become acquainted with new deepwater technology and its advantages.
4. Performance – You will learn how performance can be improved on your up-coming deepwater wells.
5. General – Learnings from past and current events and incidents through teamwork
Audiences
This Deepwater Drilling Optimisation course has been specifically written for drilling personnel who are involved either directly or indirectly with well engineering / well construction and for those personnel who have an interest in deepwater drilling engineering but who might be from another discipline – such as completion, testing or production for example – whether office or offshore based.
Personnel from operators, drilling contractors, service providers, equipment suppliers and regulatory agencies will benefit from this course where a mix of management, planning, engineering and offshore considerations are blended to cover the whole mix of considerations which constitute the deepwater well engineering process, culminating in deepwater drilling programme review through teamwork exercises.
