You will learn how to mitigate the key drilling risks associated with these types of wells\, as well as understanding the factors in planning and execution which drive success. We believe in education; being able to identify issues before they become problems is crucial for delivering successful wells. \nInvest in yourself\, your team and ultimately your results by attending Merlin’s Horizontal & High Angle Operations & Engineering Training Course. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n What will I learn?\n\nHow to determine the maximum reach from your location\nKey planning considerations to delivering trouble free wells\nRoot cause of problems encountered in high angle wells\nIdentifying minimum equipment specifications for ERD projects\nWhat others are doing around the world to assure success\nLatest tools and techniques used to reliably deliver ERD projects\nHow to minimise downtime due to 3rd party tools\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Example Schedule\n\nMon: 8am – 16.30pm\nTue: 8am – 16.30pm\nWed: 8am – 16.30pm\n\n*Daily sessions are typically 8.5 hours including 3 short breaks and 1 hour for lunch. \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n Who Should Attend?\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \nAll Drilling professionals involved with high angle wells\nDrilling Managers\, Superintendents & Engineers\nDrilling Supervisors\, Drillers\, Tool Pushers\, AD & Derrickmen\nDirectional Drillers\, MWD\, Mud Engineers & Mud Loggers\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Course Schedule\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n SESSION 1\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n SESSION 2\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n SESSION 3\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \nIntroduction & Objectives\nIntroduction and overview of course objectives\, schedule course resources. \nIndustry Achievements\nLatest Industry achievements in deviated\, complex and ERD wells. \nDifferences to low angle wells\nImportant differences between high angle and low angle wells. \nHole Cleaning\nExplanation of fundamentals\, how material is removed and why we can assume the hole is never fully clean. \nTorque & Drag & buckling\nExplanation of T&D fundamentals\, their impact in high angle wells and options for reducing T&D loads. \nRig Equipment & drill pipe\nHow to determine minimum rig requirements for your well and necessary safety factors for success.
