Horizontal Drilling

(5 days)

For: Drilling and exploitation engineers and managers interested in workable techniques for successful horizontal wells, and the problems encountered

You learn first why horizontal wells became so popular so fast, i.e., how they improve productivity, reduce coning and make some marginal economic zones into highly profitable pays. You find out what drilling techniques have worked the best to get the most result for the least cost. You discover how to case and cement a horizontal well, even in "tough" areas. You learn from actual examples, case histories and verified results. The mysteries are cleared away, and the horizontal well becomes just another "high-angle" hole. Bring your own experience and exchange it with the experiences brought by others in the class.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Why Horizontal?

  • Torque & Drag

  • Directional Control

  • Bits, Motors & Hydraulics

  • Results and Case Histories
