Course overview
Drilling engineering design is an important part of petroleum engineering. It is an important guarantee to ensure the smooth implementation and quality control of oil and gas drilling engineering. It is a principle that must be followed in drilling well construction and operations. The scientific advancement of drilling design are related to the success or failure of a well operation and benefits. The improvement of scientific drilling level depends to a certain extent on the improvement of drilling design level.
The design should be carried out on the basis of full analysis of relevant geological and engineering data, in accordance with relevant laws, regulations and requirements, and in accordance with the principles of safety, speed, quality and efficiency, and must be based on ensuring the implementation of geological tasks. The design of the main target interval must be conducive to the discovery and protection of oil and gas layers, and the design of the non-target interval mainly considers meeting the needs of drilling engineering construction operations and reducing costs.
CASE study & template shall be made available via Instructor Led.
