CDGA

Directional, Horizontal & Multilateral Drilling

Horizontal well application has been proven successful worldwide. Horizontal wells have also applied for well stimulation and enhanced oil recovery processes the main objectives of this course are to provide attendants with all aspects of horizontal well technology and make them capable to make decisions and calculations of horizontal wells. The course includes different aspects and practical engineering issues of horizontal well technology. The topics include definition and reasons to drill a horizontal wells, geologic aspects and considerations for horizontal wells, different types, limitations, screening, and cost of horizontal wells. The course also covers geological modeling and engineering reservoir characterization techniques. In addition, drilling and well completion techniques with considerations for horizontal wells will also be presented. The application of enhanced recovery methods using horizontal wells will be presented.
