Course Description
Having no background in drilling and workover operations, this course will lead you step by step to quite enough understanding of the operation done for well construction.
Introduction to main equipment and their roles, drilling a hole in a safe and efficient way. Associated operations, outputs and evaluations, data quality control and recording. Initiating the well to production. Associated problems, expectation and mitigation.
Course Objectives
– Comprehending drilling and workover reports
– Understanding what can be done within open-hole and cased wells, as a part of reservoir management
– Learning drilling practices can optimize cash flow and ultimate recovery
– Communicating with drilling and production personnel
