Wellsite Geology
Overview: A comprehensive, intensive introduction to the duties and responsibilities of the Wellsite Geologist. The Wellsite Geologist is effectively the manager of geological operations at the wellsite during drilling and acts on behalf of the operating oil company, reporting to the Operations Geologist. The role is also analytical in nature, with geological interpretations used to […]
Introduction to Well Control Course
Overview: Covers the procedures and processes involved in restoring pressure control to a well. Blowout preventer equipment is described, pressures measured in the BOP are explained, and circulation of the closed well is discussed. Simple practical exercises are used to describe the Driller Method and Wait and Weight Method of well control. Duration: Two days. […]
Understanding Drilling Fluids Course
Overview: Covers the behaviour of drilling fluids. This includes the reasons why drilling fluid density and viscosity are controlled, discussion of the various drilling fluid hydraulic models, flow regimes and how these affect the well, pressure distribution in the circulating system, interpretation of drilling fluid pressure behaviour and hole cleaning.
