Overview

Students will learn a technical and analytic approach to cost-effective well planning from site selection to casing landing and cementing with an emphasis on trajectory analysis based on borehole stability, torque and drag of tubulars, and hole cleaning. This course binds together key concepts from mud design, cementing and casing … For more content click the Read More button below. Course covers: Data acquisition, pore pressure prediction, fracture gradient prediction, in-situ stress determination, stress analysis, trajectory analysis and optimization, wellbore stability analysis, mud weight selection and optimization, casing program design, BHA selection and design, torque and drag analysis, determination of cuttings transport efficiency.
