Well Planning in Drilling Engineering

The oil and gas industry world wide dedicates part of it’s resources to assure long supply of its oil and gas. Effective planning, implementation of new technologies, application of successful drilling practices and utilization of ‘learning curve” are some of the strategies used to achieve the objectives. Drilling costs account for more than 65% of the total well cost and therefore, reductions in costs related to the drilling operations can have very significant impact on the total economic viability of oil/gas resource base. It has been shown in many situations that drilling costs can vary by more than plus or minus 50% even for wells drilled in the same geologic areas with same objectives. The reason is that different organizations use different drilling practices some of which are more cost effective than others. If all operators implement only successful practices the variation gap will be significantly reduced along with the total drilling costs. This course will address all the issues that impact on what is called effective well planning that include all drilling programs, needed information essential for successful drilling practices, analysis and diagnosis of information, safety and environmental aspects, learning (experience) curve, drilling problems anticipation and contingency planning for solutions. Roundtable discussion will follow each lecture presentation.

Designed For: Drilling engineers and managers, other engineers and managers who have some basic knowledge in drilling.

You Will Learn: Have the knowledge of basic successful drilling practices. Understanding of drilling problems and solutions. Effective well planning from spud to completion.
