Fundamentals of Well Planning
Course Summary
The objective of this course is to fully understand the various drilling programs associated with drilling or planning a well. Safety of the personnel is very important in well planning and the well must be designed to minimize risks of blowouts and other problems associated with drilling well. Full understanding of the different survey methods, BHA criteria selection, Bit and casing size selection. Demonstrate knowledge using the well plan software to design a well from start to finish taking into consideration all the factors that need to be considered during well design and Well cost analysis.
