1. Drilling Modelling<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Explore how robust modelling supports complex well delivery. This session highlights how decisions made when planning extended reach or high angle wells can directly influence operational success, through the lens of torque, drag and hydraulics modelling for drilling and tubular running operations<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. ERD Evolution<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Extended Reach Drilling has advanced rapidly, so how has practice evolved to keep up? <\/span>We’ll<\/span> walk through major shifts in ERD <\/span>well design<\/span> and execution, using real case studies to explore lessons learned. Topics include friction reduction, tool reliability, and how rig capability has influenced <\/span>what’s<\/span> achievable.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>

This session focuses on how to spot early<\/span> signs of drilling dysfunction in real-time<\/span> in order to<\/span> maintain<\/span> drilling performance. <\/span>We’ll<\/span> share practical surveillance strategies used on complex wells, show examples of data-driven decision making, and highlight how engineers and supervisors can work together to <\/span>stay ahead of the <\/span>days<\/span> vs depth curve<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Efficient hole cleaning is vital for success in long horizontal sections. This se<\/span>ssion <\/span><\/span>uses our latest hole cleaning videos to show<\/span><\/span><\/span> common <\/span>risk factors like gauge to over-gauge hole transitions and the impact of reduced annular velocity on the hole cleaning system. We explain how simple rig-site adjustments can manage risk and how to <\/span>monitor<\/span> trends and intervene before problems intensify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>

6. Stuck Pipe Prevention<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Stuck pipe events are often avoidable. This session shares real lessons learned from field incidents and highlights the design, planning and operational missteps that typically lead to problems. <\/span>You’ll<\/span> gain insight into practical prevention techniques, early warning signs, and response strategies that can make or break a<\/span> campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>

7. Tripping<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Tripping pipe seems simple—until it <\/span>isn’t<\/span>. In this session, <\/span>we’ll<\/span> cover risks associated with pipe movement, including surge\/swab, ECD control, and wellbore stability. Using field examples, <\/span>we’ll<\/span> highlight good practices for planning and execution, and how effective tripping strategies can protect your <\/span>hole<\/span> condition and save time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Unstable wellbores are a common cause of trouble. This session introduces the basics of wellbore stability from a drilling perspective, focusing on how rock strength, mud weight, and trajectory interact. <\/span>We’ll<\/span> discuss<\/span> practical ways to diagnose and respond to instability using surface data cues<\/span> and procedures <\/span>designed to mitigate or manage problems<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>
