Directional, Horizontal and Multilateral Drilling – DHDThis course builds a firm foundation in the principles and practices of directional drilling, calculations, and planning for directional and horizontal wells. Specific problems associated with directional/horizontal drilling such as torque, drag, hole cleaning, logging, and drill string component design are included. Participants will receive instruction on planning and evaluating horizontal wells based on the objectives of the horizontal well. The basic applications and techniques for multi-lateral wells are covered in the course. Additionally, they will become familiar with the tools and techniques used I directional drilling such as survey instruments, bottom hole assemblies, motors, steerable motors, and steerable rotary systems. Participants will be able to predict wellbore path based on historical data and determine the requirements to hit the target.
Drilling Practices – DP
This two-week course is designed for engineers and field personnel involved in the planning and implementation of drilling programs. The seminar covers all aspects of drilling technology, emphasizing both theory and practical application. Drilling is a complex operation requiring the marriage of different technologies and disciplines. Today's drilling personnel must have a working knowledge of all these disciplines in order to effectively drill a well. The course provides all the fundamentals necessary to drill a well whether it is a shallow well or a complex, high pressure well. Computer programs are used to design many aspects of the modern well and the course will provide the participants with the theory behind most programs along with practical implementation. Participants are required to bring a scientific calculator. For in-house courses, the instructors of this course will accept examples from your company for analysis in the class as one of the demonstration exercises.

Advanced Well Control – AWCThis course is designed to go a step beyond normal well control courses. It reviews classic pressure control procedures and covers non-classic well control procedures. After completing the course, the participant should not only know classic well control procedure but should thoroughly understand it. The instruction received in this seminar will enable the participants to evaluate kick situations to determine the safest means to handle the kick with equipment on hand, and handle confidently both principles of gas expansion and pressure and proper hands-on response on the chokes. All material contains the most up-to-date technology available in pressure control, both in theory and from hands-on experience, and comes from the instructor's extensive education and numerous experiences in well control. For in-house courses, the instructors of this course will accept examples from your company for analysis in the class as one of the demonstration exercises.
Underbalanced Drilling – UBDThis course is specifically designed for field and office personnel who will be involved in underbalanced drilling operations. Although underbalanced drilling is not new to the oil industry, underbalanced drilling techniques have recently evolved into more complicated operations. Underbalanced drilling has become more prevalent with the advent of underbalanced drilling in horizontal wells. The course will familiarize the participant with all underbalanced drilling operations including air, mist, foam, gasified fluids, flow drilling, mud cap drilling and snub drilling. The participants will learn the advantages and limitations of each drilling method so the best option for underbalanced drilling in the field can be applied. Included are methods for calculation lifting capacity and volume requirements with the example problems and equipment design from the bit to the compressor system. Discussed are some of the potential problems such as downhole fires, stuck pipe, water influx, fishing limitations, mud rigs and high production rates.
