Description

Course Overview:

With oil prices remaining low, the financial consequences of getting stuck on today's wells are substantial. The budget can quickly be exceeded due to the costs of fishing operations or, in many cases, the need to side-track, leading to multi-million-dollar cost overruns, especially with high-cost wells such as HPHT, Deepwater, and ERD wells.

This course is designed for Operators, Drilling Contractors, and Service personnel who need a comprehensive understanding of the factors leading to stuck pipe incidents (including drill pipe, BHA’s, casing, liners, and logging tools) and effective prevention strategies.

Unlike typical Stuck Pipe Prevention courses, our curriculum delves deeper into the latest developments in downhole rock mechanics forces. Topics include wellbore stability and instability in relation to mud weight, mud chemistry, hole angle, and azimuth. We emphasize the significance of optimized drilling fluids design, BHA design, well design, and drilling practices. The course also covers jar placement, calculations, and firing, the challenges specific to high angle/ERD/horizontal wells, and the crucial role of teamwork and communication. Additionally, we incorporate the latest industry videos to enhance participants' understanding of stuck pipe prevention.
