Directional, Horizontal and Multilateral Drilling

Directional, Horizontal and Multilateral Drilling

Discipline

Drilling and Workover

Course Duration

5 days

Delivery Method

In-house

This course will equip the participant with the required applied knowledge and skills to understand the directional drilling theory and project the well path to a pre-determined target depth. The course will also focus on the design aspects of directional drilling such as BHA selection, torque and drag modelling, survey calculations, well-to-well clearance calculations and uncertainty analysis. Problems associated with directional drilling such as unintentional wellbore deviation and differential sticking will be presented.
