Course Description
This course presents the basics of drilling and completion operations, plus post-completion enhancement (workovers). Participants will learn to visualize what is happening downhole, discover what can be accomplished, and learn how drilling and completion can alter reservoir performance. Learn to communicate with drilling and production personnel. No experience or prerequisites are required.
What Do Participants Learn?
- How to comprehend drilling and workover reports
- What can be done within open-hole and cased wells, as a part of reservoir management
- How drilling practices can optimize cash flow and ultimate recovery
- How to communicate with drilling and production personnel
Who Should Attend?
- Technical, field, service, support, and supervisory personnel desiring to gain an awareness of wellbore operations.
- Excellent for cross-training of other technical disciplines such as reservoir and facility engineers, geoscientists, supervisors, service personnel
- Anyone who interacts with drilling, completion or workover engineers.
What Will the Learning Experience Include?
Phase: 1
Introduce
- Comprehensive pre-program activities include:
- Web-based information forms & surveys completed by attendee.
