CDGA

The goal of the course is to enable participants to understand the operations carried out by directional drillers and contribute to the design of directional and horizontal wells. The course covers the fundamentals, design considerations and operational aspects of directional and horizontal drilling. It provides a detailed overview of all of the elements of the directional drilling process to ensure an understanding of how measurements are applied and directional controls are implemented. This course covers the fundamentals of directional drilling and surveying designed to give MWD engineers a more complete understanding of the practices employed during the application of the complimentary disciplines. The course covers every stage of the directional drilling process from initial well planning and location selection through to final landing of the well. The principles that underlie the most common directional drilling and surveying applications are covered in detail, ensuring a solid theoretical understanding of how current techniques are applied. This module is intended for those already familiar with general drilling practices, and assumes some pre-existing knowledge of rig site operations and the general progress of the well during the well construction phase.
