Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. Recent Advances in drilling and completion have resulted in a rapid increase in the number of horizontal and multilateral wells drilled each year around the world. A horizontal well, to some extent, is different from a vertical well because it requires an interdisciplinary interaction between various professionals, such as geologists, reservoir engineers, drilling engineers, production engineers, and completion engineers. A typical horizontal well project is different from a vertical well project because productivity of a well depends upon the well length. Moreover, the well length depends upon the drilling and completion techniques implemented. Multilateral well technology is revolutionizing the way that reservoirs are accessed by wells. The ability to create wells with multiple branches that can target widely spaced reservoir compartments provides engineers unlimited options in optimizing economic extraction of oil and gas. Along with this opportunity comes the inherent complexity of these well architectures.The course also analyzes the successes and failures of well integrity management from a series of real case studies in the oilfield and production facilities around the globe. During the course, the participants will review and discuss the requirements of operators and regulatory authorities for integrity assurance in wells and production facilities. They will also gain knowledge in the completion techniques and design of wells in increasingly complex field developments to ensure well integrity, failure-free and long-life production.
