Successful Deviated, horizontal and sidetracking wells require new considerations, interdisciplinary planning, and special techniques. This 7-day course addresses the critical need for a proper understanding of all aspects of horizontal and deviated well drilling and completion processes that make these wells unique. Basic understanding of important reservoir characteristics, hole stability, formation damage, and crucial zone isolation are just some of the issues critical to successful horizontal and deviated wells addressed by this course. A combined practical and technical theme is employed, with emphasis on economy and efficiency in drilling and completing these wells. Participants develop an appreciation for the complexity of these wells and become equipped to design programs for wells from drilling through completion and production.
By the end of the course the attendees will be able to :
Drilling, production and operations engineers, field supervisors, managers and technical support personnel.
