Deepwater Drilling Design and Operations
Introduction :
This course develops capability, at a skill level, in the design and drilling operations in deepwater wells. It is designed to give drilling engineering professionals an understanding of the technology, processes, and equipment used to drill deepwater oil and gas wells.
The course will follow a typical deepwater drilling program and drilling process from geology setting, through metocean environment, station-keeping, rig selection, conductor driving, surface casing setting, to drilling the remainder of the well. Wellhead systems, BOP, and marine riser systems for typical deepwater MODUs will be covered.
Once the drilling process and equipment has been reviewed the class will then look at some operational aspects such as well control and shallow hazards; then it will continue with emerging technologies such as multi-axis rigs, Dynamic Pressure Drilling, and surface BOP’s.
participants will gain awarness of key issues with testing, completing, and interventions, as well as overall operations management od deepwater well projects.
This course will be a mix of video presentations, power points, and discussions, along with group exercises to discuss the challenges encountered in a deepwater program. At the end of the course, the participants will understand the complexities and issues which must be addresed when drilling deepwater wells.
Course Objectives :
At the end of this course, the participants will be able to :
- List and explain the differences in well design and operational practices between deepwater and conventional wells
- Support the need for training and communication as a key factor in the safe design and execution of a deepwater well
- Differentiate between the various types of deepwater drilling unit, and identify advantages and disadvantages of each type
- Understand the principles of deepwater casing design, and deepwater drilling fluids and cementing techniques
- Describe the fundamentals of deepwater wellhead architecture and blow-out prevention equipment
- Understand the differences between conventional and deepwater well control, including the concepts of a narrow mud weight window, choke line friction, ECD management, and riser margins
