Course Objectives

Brand New Industry Course

Key Learning Outcomes

• The development of directional drilling, methods and equipment used
• Understand why geology matters and their impacts on drilling
• Examining key components of, and real time decision making in directional drilling
• Implementing managed pressure drilling and troubleshooting reservoir issues
• Production, water management and well servicing
• Case studies of good and bad drilling projects

About the Course

The course will provide participants with a frontline view of the benefits and nuances associated with directional drilling, which is emerging as the production technique of choice for low permeability and geographically constrained CSG reservoirs.

A key outcome will be an understanding of when to apply directional drilling and how to avoid potential operational pitfalls.

The course will draw heavily on practical field based examples and be strongly interactive, seeking to achieve a balance between instruction and the engagement of participants.

The course will answer the question – is directional drilling appropriate for your reservoir?

You will gain from the collective practical experience of an existing directional drilling practitioner, and a geologist and reservoir analyst. The melding of practical and theoretical approaches to directional drilling should result in a rewarding learning experience for participants.

Who Should Attend

• Petroleum engineers and geologists who wish to gain a greater insight into drilling
• CSM managers who wish to understand the complexities of drilling and how they can alter a project’s success
• Drilling managers wishing to improve their understanding and application of directional drilling
• Potential investors in CSM projects
