About the Course

This intensive 2 day course will provide participants with a solid all-round grounding in the technologies, concepts, methods and language used in oil and gas drilling.

The variables and uncertainties inherent in the subsurface data used to design a well will be highlighted and their potential impact on the drilling process will be explored.

Participants will see how a well design incorporates this uncertainty and how execution of the drilling plan is adjusted to cope with differences and changes.
