This course will increase the participants’ understanding of the planning for oil & gas wells.  Starting from tendering phase & rig selection with services equipment needed to perform the well until handover the well to production. This will be covered by drilling engineer who will prepare the well planning, choose rig upon its capabilities, services equipment, BHA & string design, bit selection, directional equip., mud type, casing design, cement design & calculations, pre-spud preparation, follow up the operation and monitor the performance, cost optimization and post drilling contribution to issue the end of well report. In this dynamic program, we will delve into the intricate process of drilling, exploring every facet from initial planning to operational execution. 

Aspiring engineers and industry professionals alike will gain invaluable insights into the cutting-edge technologies, best practices, and safety protocols essential for success in this vital sector. Through this comprehensive course we will embark on a journey through the depths of drilling, equipping you with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complexities of oil exploration and extraction with confidence and proficiency. 

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to: 

• Issue a tender by determining the terms & conditions for all services needed to drill the well and prepare the clarifications if any 

• Make a technical & commercial evaluation for the invited bidders 

• Issue Fax of Award to determine the Long Lead Items delivery to spud the well 

• Prepare the required papers, permits and risk assessment to issue the well plan 

• Make step by step well planning, drill well on paper, drilling program and cost sheet calculations, cost optimization, NPT and contingency plan 

• Make a rig sizing calculation, determine the rig capabilities & limitations 

• Prepare the BHA & string design 

• Plan for the most beneficial well trajectory (vertical, deviated, horizontal, multilateral, ERD) 

• Choose the most suitable bit to achieve the target (Direction work, $/ft, Hydraulics) 

• Optimize Mud type, weight, parameters for each phase 

• Casing design as per formation characteristics 

• Design wellhead as per API standard and as per casing design with the rated pressures 

• Make cement program & calculations 

• Design for DLS, hole cleaning, T&D and hydraulics 

• Apply the best practices to avoid drilling problems 

• How to drill wells with the best performance at lower cost applying the HSSE regulations
