Due to the increased challenges and numerous procedural revisions associated with high angle wells, educating personnel on how to identify issues before they become problems is crucial in delivering a successful deviated well.
Invest in yourself, your team and ultimately your results by attending Merlin’s Horizontal & High Angle Operations & Engineering Training Course.
*Daily sessions are typically 4.5 hours. Actual start times will vary based on the geographical location of delegates.
Introduction and overview of course objectives, schedule course resources.
Latest Industry achievements in deviated, complex and ERD wells.
Important differences between high angle and low angle wells.
Explanation of fundamentals, how material is removed and why we can assume the hole is never fully clean.
Explanation of T&D fundamentals, their impact in high angle wells and options for reducing T&D loads.
ECD definition, influencing factors and options for reducing ECD.
Why swab and surge effects are amplified in ERD wells. Techniques for managing cyclic loading.
Outline of procedures for making safe connections in high angle wells. Techniques to avoid damage to the wellbore and prevent stuck pipe.
How to clean up a deviated hole. Fit for purpose tripping procedures and avoiding pack-offs and stuck pipe while back-reaming.
How to interpret downhole conditions from surface measurements to provide objective repeatable indication of hole condition. Dynamic changes in cuttings, torque, drag and PWD. How to get early warning of approaching problems.
Causes of instability. Solutions for preventing and/or recovering from a wellbore stability problem.
Key risks installing casing in ERD and high angle wells. Latest techniques to get tubulars predictably to depth. Cementing issues for high angle wells.
Types of casing wear, identifying a problem, consequences and risk reduction options.
Understanding the problem, the risk factors and how to manage the risk of differential pressure sticking on high angle wells.
