HPHT Operations and Drilling Challenges

Course description

This course covers all major aspects of HPHT well construction projects. It covers the theories, technicalities and practicalities of HPHT wells complete with impending risks and challenges. This course is also equipped with case studies on both successful HPHT well projects and the mistakes of past projects. Special emphasis is placed on Geopressure detection analysis.
This course aims to equip participants with the knowledge and understanding on ways to overcome the challenges and risks in HPHT wells while elevating the effectiveness of their HPHT wells practices, giving special emphasis on methods to detect and analyse Geopressures in HPHT wells.

Audience

This course is designed for drilling engineers, company men, supervisors, toolpushers, drillers, assistant drillers, derrickmen, and technical managers responsible for improving drilling performance at the rig site.
