The "Horizontal and Extended Reach Drilling (ERD)" course provides participants with advanced knowledge and practical skills in planning, designing, and executing horizontal and ERD wells. By covering advanced topics and techniques, this course ensures that participants are well-equipped to safely and efficiently conduct horizontal and ERD drilling operations, optimize drilling performance, and mitigate risks associated with wellbore instability and other challenges.
Understanding Horizontal and ERD Fundamentals: Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of horizontal and extended reach drilling (ERD) techniques, including the benefits, challenges, and applications of drilling wells with horizontal and highly deviated sections.
Planning and Designing Horizontal and ERD Wells: The course will teach participants how to plan and design horizontal and ERD wells, focusing on well trajectory optimization, drilling fluid selection, and casing design to maximize reservoir exposure and productivity.
Advanced Drilling Techniques: Participants will learn advanced drilling techniques for horizontal and ERD wells, including rotary steerable systems, downhole motors, and drilling dynamics management, to optimize drilling performance and reduce non-productive time.
