Directional, Horizontal and Sidetrack Drilling - Virtual Learning
This Directional, Horizontal and Sidetrack Drilling training course will increase the participants’ understanding of the operations carried out by directional drillers and how directional and horizontal wells are planned and optimized. The basic applications and techniques for multilateral wells will be covered and participants will receive instructions on planning and evaluating horizontal wells based on the objectives of the horizontal well, and how to perform the proper planning for directional and horizontal well. In addition, this training course will cover how to predict wellbore path based on historical data and determine the requirements to hit the target, and help solve related problems.
This Gulf Rowad training course will feature:
How to identify candidate wells for horizontal drilling, design horizontal and multilateral well profiles
Understanding single and double build curve
Calculating torque and drag
Understanding kick off methods, compile a drilling and completion program and estimate wellbore stability mud weights
