PROGRAM'S BACKGROUND

This program provides a comprehensive treatment of drill string design as well as the avoidance of operational problems and wears on equipment. Bit selection, BHA optimization and drilling hydraulics are investigated in detail, with the emphasis on practical and safe operating procedures.

This program will provide participants with the understanding of the treatment of drill string designs, as well as the knowledge of how to avoid operations problems and wear on equipment. BHA design concepts, optimization, and drilling hydraulics will be investigated with an emphasis on practical and safe operating procedures.

PROGRAM'S OBJECTIVES

This Program’s Attendees Will Be More Able To:

›       Place the drill string design process in context with other planning and operational considerations
